Our playdate with Jo and Bettina this week was at the playground in Ebisu. As it was off-peak I risked going there on the bus again, and it was certainly quicker, plus it something unusual for Emily so there was less grizzling. First port of call was the smoothie place at Garden Place. I had my 'usual': fig, prune and almond. Naturally, Emily assisted me with my pint-sized portion. Emily was showing off her vocabulary, naming the animals in Isy's book. She is doing well verbally, and it is hard not to mention it without it sounding like I'm boasting. But then, there's always another child doing better (eg. Charlize). Emily and Isy went wild running around the pedestrianised outdoor area, with indulgent smiles from most of the passers-by whose legs they were running in and out of, sporting huge grins and squealing a fair bit.
In the nearby playground the three children played well for a good hour or so. They liked riding together on the rocking dog.
The proximity of the railway tracks next to the park was too good to resist, and Emily and Tim made a beeline for the footbridge over the rails (Isy doesn't seem that bothered about trains). By the time we packed up just after five, dusk was already beginning and the near-full moon quite high (Emily is crazy about tsuki-sama and usually spots it long before I do).
