Mums and Tots at our place

Yesterday, the three of us hosted our first mums and tots morning at our apartment.

It's always run on an informal turn up if you can basis, so we had no idea how many guests we'd have. The mornings typically run from 10am, but by 10.15am no-one at all had shown up - making me wish we'd perhaps posted the event on Facebook (ala Corey Delaney). Fortunately though we were then deluged with guests, and ended up with around 15 mums (and another dad) and their respective babies and toddlers squeezed into our apartment.

The (really nice) security guards on reception in our building had found huge amusement in telling them the way to our place and, like us, had been surprised when mum after mum (after dad) turned up throughout the morning.

Everyone seemed to have a good time and the ginger-bread people I'd made were a big hit with some of the older children who ended up besieging the table where the plate of them sat!

It was great fun, and we'll definitely run another morning or two before we leave Warsaw.

The evening was less fun as Audrey had to have her six months set of injections (one in either leg) and the doctor had warned us that the second one in particular was quite painful. She was pretty brave about the whole thing and there weren't too many tears.

When it came to bedtime she was clearly unsettled. But (hopefully) she seems back to her usual happy self this morning.
