    In front of thier parents and grandparents, small children danced and sang on the military club's stage.
    After a fashion show by pregnant women, thirty-six babies aged between eight and twelve months participated in a fast crawling competition.

    "It is a very nice competition. It is good for the children to express themselves, and it is fun for the mothers and fathers as well - you know, parents of small babies have limited social contacts - that is why we like this event," young mother Velichka Marinova described.
    The prize ranged from toys to baby creams.
