kolonat

I wish you could all visit this establishment. They have the archs, they have the cheeseburgers, they have the happy meals, they have the cleaning people that are slightly darker skinned than the young girls that work at the cashiers... But they don’t pay McDonald’s for the name…

Anyway, they also have a ball pit/obstacle course/climbing gym for kids and, thus, is one of Besnik's favorite places to go. It's around the corner and offers cheap espresso, so we frequent it quite often. Alas, B has made quite a name for himself. We walked in on Friday night, during prime pre-dinner playtime, and B headed back to the play area while I ordered my coffee. He checked out the clientele, came back to tell me he was going in and (after his shoes were safely stored in a cubby-hole) headed in himself. He was literally squealing with delight as he walked around and greeted other babies and kids. He even patted a couple on the back as if to say “good to see you again!”. The employees at Kolonat love B because he is always laughing or smiling so usually he receives quite a greeting. Also on Friday, there was a slightly older girl who came in about a half hour after us who was hesitant about going in without her mom. So Besnik came out of the ball pit, walked over by her and waited patiently while she got her coat off and then followed her in to be sure she was taken care of and happy.
