L-O-V-E

Today we had a Valentines PartAY with Finley's friends!!
Finley and I got started by making the cupcakes. She is such a big helper in the kitchen.

















While the cupcakes were baking we played and waited for our friends!!








Then all our friends got there. Easton and Miss Ruthie, Ava and Miss Jessica, and our new friend Liam and Miss Caitlin. They had a Blast decorating their cupcakes and of course, the best part, eating their valentine's treats!!






Then we colored Valentines for our friends and delivered them to their own special treat bags. Then the kiddos played played and played!!!











Happy Valentines Day!!!

Gymbo the Clown goes Up and Down

Gymboree is an indoor play area in Mount Pleasant. They have age appropriate classes a few times a week and we try to go as often as we can.

First they have free play






Then comes the Welcome Song "Grab a color, grab a color, grab a color..."



This week's lesson was about trees, so we did different activities. Here Finley is climbing an "apple tree".




Then she danced to a butterfly song with a butterfly on her finger. She was very into this!!






Then comes Bubble Time













The class finishes up with a big hug from Gymbo the clown and then his goodbye song. "Gymbo the clown goes Up and Down, Side to Side, Twist Twist Twist, Peek a Boo, Bye Bye Bye!!!"





Finley is doing great in this class. She just moved up to level five and has picked it up so quickly. She is great with her climbing, balance, and coordination! She is very into music these days. She sings along with all the songs and shakes her little self along with the music!

February FUN!!

We have had a happy week. Finley has been very easy going and at such a fun age where she is enjoying every little thing. I can't find my charger to my fancy camera- so once again, the pictures are few and they are blurry, but Finley looks cute anyways!!

We went to Barnes and Noble on Monday morning and saw our friends Norah and Easton. Finley was into animal books today. She also played with the puppets and stuffed animals.



Tuesday was rainy so we went to play at Chuck E. Cheese. It seemed as if noone wanted to get out in the rain and we had the place all to ourselves. Finley LOVES watching Chuck E. sing and dance. She waves to him and tells him hello. She is mesmerized by his big mouse self! She was very brave today and kept wanting to ride the rides over and over again. She liked the Barney ride and was so cute, as soon as she sat down she said Hi and leaned in to give him a hug.





Today we went to the Children's museum. Finley was so cute- when her friends got there, she RAN to them saying "Easton and Ava... Wait for Me!!" She just started saying "wait for me" when she is hurrying around, and it is so adorable.
After much playing, we walked a couple blocks down to a frozen yogurt place on George Street called Fresh Berry. We ordered a big raspberry yogurt with fresh strawberries and kiwi on top and let Easton, Ava, and Finley split it. So delicious! The kids were PRECIOUS. You could tell they were all enjoying their fun outing. In the last couple of pictures, Finley was being funny by dancing... she is such the entertainment. I love Easton's face while he watches her dance--I know it's too soon for a boyfriend, but still-they would make one cute couple!!










Today, after the museum and after her nap, we had a tea party in the living room with her jack-o-lantern tea set. She was ADORABLE! Such a little lady! She would pour her tea then offer some to me. We took turns drinking the tea and discussing what flavor our ''tea'' was. The she decided we should invite more friends. One by one she chose her friends and put them on the table, making sure to give each guest some tea!








Then, like any good hostess would do, after the party Finley broke out her harmonica in a song. Lovely Day. Precious Girl.
