We had SO much fun today!!
First, we met Casey and Mason at Jason's Deli for a delicious (Happy Birthday to Casey) lunch before walking next door to Gymboree. We had a great time visiting - the kiddos were so good and let us have a conversations!!
Gymboree was a blast! Mira and I both smiled and laughed so much! We sang a bunch of songs to start things off, as usual.
Then she played with some cool musical instruments dangling down on the end of yarn - trying to grab them was great for hand-eye coordination! She really loved that green castanet!
Their next task was to climb through tunnels. :\ We put Mira and Mason halfway in the tunnels, and they just sort of stared at each other... =)
Then she "climbed" all over some gym equipment - searching for more noise makers along the way. This was good cruising and crawling practice!
Next, we had a dance party! This was definitely our favorite part! The song was very upbeat and would freeze every so often. So, we would all dance like crazy - holding our babies - then freeze when the song stopped. All the babies, except for Mira, would crack up when we froze. Mira would stop smiling and laughing and get real serious, looking around as if she were thinking, "Why did everybody stop? We were having such a good time!" Then, when the song and dance would re-start, she would just giggle herself silly!!! It makes me smile again just thinking about it! =)
We closed with some familiar songs and some new ones, plus the parachute (which elicited squeals of delight all around the circle), bubbles, and finally, sang good-bye to Gymbo!
Can't wait for next week!
Suffice to say, she was thoroughly exhausted and fell asleep before we even got out of the parking lot!! Of course, this was only a 30-minute power nap, as usual....
