Weekend spot
Every weekend for the last several weekends we go to more or less the same spot in Central Park. Every weekend they nap in their strollers before reaching the spot. Every weekend Azmina buys a $2 ice cream from the entrance. Every weekend Farizah watches her sister enjoy something which does not interest her. Every weekend they play tag. And every weekend they have their parents inspect twigs and leaves they have collected.
Azmina was around 15 months when she first started to walk on grass. Finding the texture alien to the parquet and the concrete she had been used to, she cried for help when we left her in the middle of a grass patch. We blamed ourselves for not going to the park more often, but our old apartment wasn’t exactly conveniently located near to any grassy fields or parks. We blamed high apartment prices for our small apartment. We blamed our small apartment for Azmina’s inability to crawl and walk at an earlier age. We promised her then that we would move to somewhere near a park or playground.
