I just have to say...

Cute Child and his friend Theo, they are 10 days apart, and love to play together. .. . Unfortunately Theo is on holiday in London right now... :(

It's a happy afternoon.

After a week of play groups, last night I was seriously just asking God if I could start completely over. Find new friends.

At Baby Bible several of the kids (okay all except for 2) were 2.5+ and just ignored Cute Child, bowled him over, or were downright bullying him. All to the complete ignorance of their mothers.

I started thinking and this is how it is half the time. Cute Child loves the company, is a hugely resilient kid, loves everyone, and just ignores the normal sharing squabbling, random hitting, etc. He likes going.

But I am really starting not to. And I really did NOT enjoy Baby Bible play group on Wednesday. And so I came home really frustrated. And praying, praying for someone new to come to town with a boy Cute Child's age.

Around 1 this afternoon a new friend here in Nairobi that we've randomly met at Nakumatt (African version of WalMart), her husband had a red sox hat on, so we struck up conversation with them... And then the husband got in touch with Hot Husband and they've done coffee and really hit it off... and we had them over last week for lunch. They have a little boy who is 2 months older then Cute Child--- anyways, she just called to ask if we wanted to have a playdate at her house tomorrow morning!!!! YAHOOOO! New friends, and a friend for Cute Child his age!!!

And just now, I went outside with Cute Child to get my cell phone out of the car, and wa-lah. There is a new little boy with his Ay-ah (nanny) playing and he is 17 months, and his name is Mateus, they are Ethiopian, just moved here from the States 3 days ago. :) I am grinning from ear to ear. They even live in our same building!!!! YAY! Him and Cute Child played in our car for 20 minutes. YAHOOOOO!

God answers prayers quickly... sometimes. ;)
