A little that I know

A little that I know about being a mother, I know one little thing for sure, that is; it is my duty to make my daughter's childhood as fun as possible. For sure, it is because, it will only come once in her life time.
So, I found a bit difficult being a mom here in Jakarta, since most of other moms like to go to the mall, and spend the rest of the day, weeks or even years in it. The mall provides many things that one family need. You can spend 8 hours in the mall, from breakfast, lunch till dinner, and your kids can do as many activities as one could think of, of course in the mall.
I, on the other hand, found this very unusual. I rather go to the park (sure..here in jakarta?) or to the playground (again, sure...here in jakarta?). However, not many of Leia's friends agreed with Leia's mom. Many of moms also love to go and spend 8 hours a day in the mall.
Recently, I found a new friend, she is of course Leia's friend mom. She spent her past 15 years in America, between San Francisco and New York, for once, I found a mom who has the same vision as mine. She has two boys, Ray and Jody, and she loves museum hopping, and I asked the question, "Museum? Really?? Here in Jakarta??" See....a little that I know. However, she can give me a list of recommended museum that Leia and I can go to. We have lots of things in commons, one of the things that I just found out, our love for the "Antropologie store", for once, I felt, I was in the same country or same place that I used to, that I was not weird, because I didn't really introduce Leia to movie theater, or Leia was never been to that place in that mall, for once, I felt, I was at the same ground that I used to.
Anyway, we spent the whole day at her house yesterday, again, a little that I know, she is an artist herself, with her creativity, and Leia's fast pace energy, she managed to make more activities that maybe I've ever made in one day. And this was she said to me, "Leia is very lucky to have a good mother like you!" and so do her boys. She has a lovely home, I can see a touch of San Fransciscan with New Yorker in her house with a touch of genuine kindness and loveliness.
A little that I know, I found a new friend, from my little girl.
