The carers there thought she was a lovely, happy little girl and seemed to take to her. Mia took to them as well and let them pick her up. She played with the toys and even shared one of them with another little girl who was about the same age as Mia but who can't walk yet. The carers seemed impressed with her sharing toys.
I tried to stay in the background as much as I could, but ended up playing with the other kids as well. The children there all seemed quite nice, one little boy tried to hug her but Mia wasn't interested. In fact another little boy actually pushed her over, but Mia was fine. She didn't cry, just looked at me for a second then got herself up and carried on. So that makes me feel better about how she'll cope on her own. In fact when it was time to go inside, the other kids piled up the stairs and Mia just followed, well slowly climbed up the stairs. She didn't seem fazed by anything. Just confidently got stuck in! She seemed quite vocal as well, compared to the other children her age.
The carers thought Mia was very good around other children, and seemed to think we had spent a lot of time at playgroups but I haven't really been part of any playgroups. I did do a baby sing and sign class with her and I've tried to let her play with as many kids as I can. Which is one of the reasons why I wanted her to go to nursery, so that she would learn the social skills that she'll get from playing with other kids.
We spent about an hour and a half there and she fell asleep in the pushchair on the walk home. She didn't have her usual morning nap as we had had to get there at 10am, so she was tired out. I met my mum for a coffee and some lunch and we went to the kids playground, around the corner from our flat, when Mia woke up.
