Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

This past week has been so much fun! Last Thursday we went to Bubble Camp at Gymboree Play & Music. We had Music class first. This week's theme was Broadway...not my favorite or most familiar genre, but it was fun and Jane Baird participated more than last week. After music class we went to Art class. The theme was nature and the kids got to paint a picture and then worked on a cooperative painting project. They listened to a story, had a little snack and then got to play in the "tactile table." The surprise in the table was beans and the kids LOVED playing in them! It was hard to say good-bye to the beans, but up next was dress up time! Jane Baird dressed up as a pig and then the kids got to look at themselves in the mirror. We danced around the room in our costumes to a cute little song.

After leaving Gymboree, we called my nephew Cameron and invited him to lunch. He is home from college for the summer and working in downtown B'ham at his summer job. Jane Baird enjoyed being around him. He has had so much fun during his first year of college that he had forgotten to come visit us :(

When we got home Jane Baird was ready for a nap. After nap time we went to my parent's house to see my sister in her family (Reagan, Drew, Reese, Davis) We only see them twice a year because they live so far away. Jane Baird kisses Reese's picture almost every night and talks about her a lot. All of the kids got along and enjoyed spending time with each other.

Saturday we all drove to Mississippi to visit with my grandmother. Jane Baird has been asking to go see "Grandma Puddin" for a while. We ran into my neighbor at the grocery store last week (she is an older lady) and JB said "Hey, Grandma Puddin!" So JB finally got to visit her.

We spent all week playing, swimming, laughing together. Reagan and her family left this morning and JB is sad :( I put her down for a nap earlier and she said "Mommy, I see Reese and Davis (when I) wake up." Later we drove past my parents subdivision and she said "I see Reese and Davis!" I wish they loved closer. Goodbyes are sad.

Tomorrow we go back to Music and Art class! Jane Baird is excited and Mommy is too!
