One thing I love about living here is Finn getting exposed to such a variety of people and lifestyles. I love listening to people of all different languages talk around us. Even a cool accent excites me.
A few weeks ago, I got turned around in a metro station. As I was strolling around aimlessly, I saw another lady with a stroller doing the same thing. We ended up visiting. I realized I had some cards that my sweet friend had made me for my birthday. They have my name, email, and phone number on them. I wondered if this woman would think I was a weirdo being so eager to befriend a stranger.
I gave her the card. I got an email the next day and we have since been on two outings together.
Finn absolutely loves her son, who is 7 months old. They are from Ireland. They are in a similar situation as Tosh and I. She is a delight to hang out with. I look forward to getting to know her better over the next six
weeks.
Finn has a buddy at the park whose parents speak three different languages. I so hope that as the mother talks to her son in German, Finn will pick up even a little nugget of information. It is so exciting to me.
One of my new favorite places is a mall. This mall has it all. There is a little hamburger joint I take Finn to. I have abandoned a lot of my fears regarding germs and therefore Finn gets to do a lot of new things like ride mall toys. =) Here he is enjoying the horses...
He thinks it is really cool...
I always let him ride two times...
He gets to push the start button which he also enjoys...
