14 October 2009

My latest introducee (is that a word?) to Bornelund's Kid-O-Kid play centre was Charlize. I really ought to look into getting commission as Julia is the fourth mum I have taken there! We met at the station and Emily and Charlize were very boisterous and vocal on the way to Minato Mirai. Emily spotted a dish on a roof and kept yelling 'satellite', whereupon Charlize took up the refrain and they were both shouting it, causing a woman opposite to pointedly move to the other end of the carriage.

Finally we got to our destination and were able to let their rampant energy loose in the more-or-less safe environment of Kid-O-Kid. We all had great, if tiring, fun on the bouncy castle before moving on to the more static toys. Charlize was very moody as she needed to go to the toilet but wouldn't do anything when taken there. Julia was worried that after two hours she would make a big puddle on the floor, but amazingly she held on until the end of our hour of play. She was also whingeing and crying on the way to the restaurant, but thankfully she made it through the meal without making a fuss. They both got in a terrible mess with various sauces and chocolate.


Walking to the bayside park, Charlize fell asleep instantly; Emily took more than half an hour to succumb to her nap, and only managed 25 minutes then. Waking refreshed, the two of them had a rare old time chasing each other around on the grass, chasing butterflies and bubbles.
We finished our day out at a cafe, where they had a kids corner with a wendy house.
