Today we went
shopping at the Westfield mall in London.
Our main aim was to buy some cute new clothes for the kiddies, but of
course it’s nice to have somewhere for Ethan to play between shops to keep him
happy. This is great for his Personal,
Social and Emotional Development as he adapts to playing in different areas
with unfamiliar children.
We went to
the play area, and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. For such a large shopping mall, the play area
is very small. It’s also right in the
middle of the mall, which means it’s in the way of people trying to walk
through and there’s not a lot of space to park prams. Unfortunately, Ethan wasn't keen on it. It was very crowded and he very politely kept
saying that he had to wait to do things until another child was finished. He walked through the tunnel a couple of
times, but then he was done. He was much
happier to sit on the electronic cars and things that are in the small
passageways across from the lifts.
On a side note,
I have to say that I do really like the family rooms in the mall. They are quite big and spacious for changing
nappies, there is a big tv and another ride on car that kept Ethan occupied
while I changed Ivy and there are also private feeding rooms.
