This morning we went to Ikea. I didn't need to buy anything, but we were bored, it was cold out and--most importantly--I remembered that now that Ilyas is 3, he is allowed to go to Smaland, Ikea's child care center/playroom! Parents are permitted to leave their children, aged 3-10, in Smaland for up to 2 hours while they shop. So Idris and I wandered around, having fun looking at bookshelves and sofas and dressers, while Ilyas visited Smaland. At one point I thought I heard Ilyas screaming and raced towards the noise. Luckily, it was someone else's kid! When we went to pick up Illy, the girl told us that he did great, although he didn't go in to play in the ball pit or sit on any of the cool chairs that they had. He preferred to stay close to her and play with a train. Still, I think it went well and we may just make this a regular activity!
When I was making dinner, Ilyas ran into the kitchen giggling, and then ran back out to the living room, where I heard both boys erupt into laughter. I went to check it out and saw that they were playing a game of peek-a-boo. It was so cute! I love it when they interact like that (since their usual interaction involves Ilyas biting Idris' fingers).
