IKEA - The play area

Olivia spotted the play area right away. She ran over to it and said, “I want to play Mommy!” She was so excited. We worked through the language issue with the young lady who spoke a little English. Olivia eagerly slipped off her shoes, said goodbye (kinda) and away she went. There is a big glass wall to watch the children play. We stood and watched her for a moment and then headed up the escalator. When I could no longer see her, I got anxious and tears began to fill my eyes. Scott said, “Are we nuts for just dropping her off?” I thought to myself, “If I can’t drop her off at the IKEA play area I am in trouble.” We were able to check on her about 20 minutes later. And wouldn’t you know it; she was fine - having a great time! I only hope that Scott and I will have such excitement as we begin learning the Romanian language and culture.
