PLAY DATE AND SITTING/STANDING ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

THIS TIME AT PLAY DATE THERE WAS ACTUALLY QUITE A FEW OF US, THERE WERE 4 MOMS, AND 8 KIDS-SORRY HAILEY THAT YOU HAD TO WORK-WE MISSED YOU! WE HAVE SUCH A GREAT TIME EVERY WEEK GETTING TOGETHER AND 4 OF THE KIDS WERE ALL BORN IN NOVEMBER AND WE LOVE WATCHING THEM ALL INTERACT-IT IS SO FUN TO SEE THEM ALL BEING LITTLE SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES. WE THROW THE TOYS ALL OVER THE BLANKET AND THE KIDS GO CRAZY. AFTER PLAY GROUP WE RAN SOME ERRANDS AND THEN I CAME HOME TO PUT HALLE DOWN FOR A NAP-I LAID HER IN THE CRIB (LIKE ALWAYS) AND LEFT THE ROOM. I USUALLY HEAR HER MAKING NOISES AND TO MY SURPRISE SHE WAS BEING QUIET SO I HAD TO CHECK OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. SHE ACTUALLY PULLED HERSELF FROM LAYING TO SITTING AND THEN FROM SITTING TO STANDING HOLDING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CRIB. THEN I CALLED EVERYONE POSSIBLE TO TELL THEM OF MY GOOD NEWS. HOW AMAZING THIS IS FOR A MOMMY. THE LITTLE THINGS MEAN SO MUCH! WE LOVE YOU HALLE KAY! I DON'T WANT HER TO EVEN TRY TO WALK YET, THEN THEY GET INTO EVERYTHING BUT STANDING IS OKAY!

PLAY GROUP!

ONCE AGAIN, TODAY WAS PLAY GROUP AT ROSS PARK. WE (THE MOMS) HAVE SUCH A GREAT TIME. WE CAN SAY THAT PLAY GROUP IS FOR THE KIDS, HOWEVER; THEY DON'T TALK OR PLAY YET, THEY CAN'T EVEN WALK AROUND TO THEY TOYS. NEVERTHELESS, THEY SEEM TO ENJOY IT TOO. THIS WEEK IT WAS HAILEY DYE AND HER SON AND DAUGHTER AND HALLE AND I AND THE REST IN THE GROUP COULD NOT COME. WE STILL HELD IT THOUGH, EVEN WITH JUST THE TWO OF US. IT IS SO GOOD TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH OTHER ADULT WOMEN AND SOCIALIZE AND IT IS GOOD FOR THE KIDS TO BE OUT OF THE HOUSE AND HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO INTERACT WITH OTHER KIDS, SO ALL-IN-ALL, IT IS A WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR ALL OF US AND WE ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT TIME. HALLE LOVES THE OTHER KIDS AND IS SO HAPPY AROUND THEM (SHE IS HAPPY ALL THE TIME BUT EVEN MORE SO WITH LITTLE PEOPLE) HER AND LOLA ARE ABOUT A WK APART AND ROLL TOGETHER, TALK BABBLES TO EACH OTHER AND SLOBBER ALL OVER EACH OTHERS TOYS AND THAT IS WHAT KEEPS US GOING BACK EVERY WEEK FOR MORE. WE LOVE OUR PLAY DATES!

FIRST PLAY DATE WAS SO MUCH FUN!

SO TODAY WAS OUR FIRST PLAY DATE EVER! WE DID IT AT ROSS PARK. THERE WAS ETHAN AND LOLA DYE, QUENTIN JENKS, AND HALLE. ETHAN IS JUST OVER 2 YRS OLD AND THE OTHER 3 WERE ALL BORN WITHIN 1.5 WEEKS. THEY HAVE SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER. ALSO THE MOMS, HAILEY AND HEATHER ARE MY VISITING TEACHERS. IT WAS ALOT OF FUN TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. WE WERE THERE ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN WE ALL WENT HOME TO PUT THEM DOWN FOR AN AFTERNOON NAP.
HERE IS HAYLEY AND HEATHER. THEY ARE SO CUTE AND IT HAS BEEN FUN GETTING TO KNOW THEM.
ETHAN IS SO ADVENTUROUS, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING SCARES HIM. HE IS SO CUTE!
LOLA AND HALLE LAUGHED AND TALKED AND SHARED TOYS UNTIL QUENTIN SHOWED UP! THANKS TO HAILEY AND HEATHER, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK, IT WAS GOOD INTERACTION WITH KIDS FOR HALLE ALSO!
