What a super fun day we had today!!! My goal for this summer was to get out of the house for a special day with my sweet little girl at least once a week. We've had a busy week, but today was OUR special day together. We went for a Gymboree Music class and a Play and Learn class in Birmingham. It was SO much fun!
First we had a 45 minute music class. Jane Baird learned about rhythm and the theme this week was 80's music. We listened to songs and tapped sticks when we heard certain rhythms. Then we played with scarves and danced to Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" and every time we heard "yahoo" in the song, we threw the scarves in the air. The kids loved that part. They got out a huge box on instruments and let the kids pretend they were in a marching band and everyone got to pick out different instruments to march with. Then the kids got to play on these huge drums. We tapped all of the kids names in rythm and other words that were familiar to the children. They gave out stamps at the end of class and Jane Baird LOVES to get stamps. I did not get any pics during this class because I was fully participating :)
We had a 15 minute break before the next class began so JB played with the other children while I chatted with some of the other moms. Next was the Play and Learn class. This was right up Jane Baird's alley! It was a huge room full of things to climb and play on. We sang songs, danced, blew and chased after bubbles, and had a little puppet show. I was able to get a few pics (which I will post later) and a video of JB's favorite song--The Freeze Song.
After the 2nd class we went to Target and bought Jane Baird a couple new swim suits and some items for our much anticipated BEACH VACATION!!! After 2 classes and shopping we were so tired. We ate lunch and then headed home. We went to my parents house to swim this afternoon and Daddy came over after work to cool off with a refreshing dip in the pool. Then mom and dad grilled burgers and we ate. Now Daddy is working on JB's new swing set!!! Hopefully that will be completed and I'll have pics tomorrow.
