After a day at home hiding from the heat, I was glad to get out and go to the new mums group despite it being another scorcher. This time it was in a different place again - Tokyo Metroplitan Childrens Hall at Shibuya. Considering so many are away on vacation it was a good turn out with about 20 mums attending. The Hall is a fantastic resource for kids with 5 floors of activities and I can see it will be a good place to take Emily when she is a bit older. The play area for babies was not as well equipped as some of the other jidokan we've been to, with mainly soft toys, but there was a large crate of plastic shapes and I sat Emily down at one corner so she could dip in and play with them. Several people commented on how well she was sitting compared with the last meeting a fortnight ago. I was able to withdraw a little way and chat as she was very stable and happily absorbed in what she was doing.
Afterwards a few of us went for a drink and Emily insisted on sipping my mango frappuchino (you try and stop her!). She didn't seem to mind it being so ice-cold and got a big orange moustache that I had to lick off, to the amusement of other people around us at the cafe.
