I held his hand as we strolled around the mall to help with digestion.
While strolling, I saw a children's playground. I went inside to take a look out of curiosity.
I knew that Munchkin was not one to be eager to play here, but I could not resist going in after seeing all the children his age having fun inside.
Only later did I realize that there was a whole other world inside the small store.
After walking through the sand pit and large toys at the front, I saw many more educational toys. Further ahead, there were even small robots. There were children of all ages from elementary school to middle school in the children's playground.
Munchkin was staring straight at it, then he turned to ask me, "Mommy, can I play here?"
"Of course." When I brought him to the service desk to register, the receptionist told me that there was a reading area and a coffee area at the side.
"Parents can wait over there, and rest assured that your child won't be allowed out of the store on their own. Feel free to ask our staff members if you have any special requests, but remember children need to be accompanied by their parents if they wish to leave," the receptionist patiently explained to me.
I nodded with a smile.
I was not worried about Munchkin as he had always been a smart kid, so he would not simply run out by himself.
Moreover, I would not be far away from him either. They must have taken safety into account as the coffee area was an open place with a wide and unobstructed view of the children's area. I could just look up to see Munchkin while sitting there sipping on my coffee.
'I’ll go play now, Mommy.” The little one could no longer hold in his excitement after leaving the service desk, but he still politely informed me.
“Go on. Don’t forget to come over here occasionally to drink water," I reminded him.
"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, Munchkin ran out in a flash.
