Brunch in Heaven

Collin and I took Sophia out for brunch today. As a sociable baby, Sophia loves any opportunity to watch people and make friends. We arrived at Heaven restaurant to see quite a few tables with infants and young children. There was a table set up for children to make cards using banana leaves and a lovely shop featuring Toddle Care products, designed for babies and toddlers . 

As soon as we sat down, two waiters arrived with a high chair and Toddle Care chair cover for Sophia. We thought Sophia would be too small for the high chair as she often topples forward when sitting but with the chair cover, she was able to sit up perfectly. I was really impressed with the attentiveness of the waiting staff - this is not a common occurrence in Rwanda, and I really felt like children were welcomed there. 

Sophia was very chuffed with her independent seating arrangement and giggled her way through the meal, staring at everyone who passed by. In fact she was so entertained, that she didn't even try to get any of my food. Now we are back at home, she is fast asleep, allowing me to blog for the first day in ages. It was an expensive brunch (with 10% tip added to the bill, something rare to see in Rwanda) but worth it to have a positive dining experience with a baby and to find a place I would be happy to go to on my own with her in the future. 

I was also able to buy her a wooden stacking toy from Toddle Care so it was a very successful outing.
