It's GYMBOREE Time!

I signed Lucy up for our local Gymboree Play & Music center this summer. She has LOVED playing there, playing musical instruments, and meeting new friends.

The class this week started with a dance with scarves...

When the music would stop, everyone was suppose to freeze, and Lucy would close her eyes. It cracked me up. And I got it on film!

Another favorite of the class is "clean up, clean up..." time!

And Miss Caitlyn the energetic, adorable teacher!

Lucy also likes the "tap, tap, tap" dance. This week she followed the whole song, staring at Miss Caitlyn...ha!

Then comes parachute and bubble time. We walk the parachute around in a circle and sing a song while Miss Caitlyn blows special bubbles for each baby. Look at all those cute babies!

Each class also includes free play. The center is full of fun tunnels, swings, bouncy mats, slides, etc! It is heaven to an 18 month old!

Lucy is following her friend, Lucy here! (Yes, they have the same name. We met in breastfeeding group last spring.)

Loving on her friend, Lucy!

Lucy has started to hug this week. Not sure the other Lucy liked it on her head though....oops!


And I'll end with a funny picture of Lucy taking a sink bath at Mimi and Papa's! She loves sink baths so much!

That is so darn cute...FREEZE and Lucy interprets stop and close my eyes. The wonders of a baby's thought processes. Can't wait to see you soon.
The sink baths continue with last night both Anneliese and Elisabeth taking one after a trip to Target...Craig warned me that Elle might be too heavy and my sink will break. Boo. I am getting a plumber to make it extra supported so she can go in the sink until she cant fit. :)

Adorable! My favorite is how she closes her eyes...that's a priceless developmental stage! (P.S. Do any of these parents bring older sibs? Sometimes I feel like the only mother in the world with two+ children. I'm seeking more ways to allow BOTH of my girls to play and have fun. I don't have the luxury of just bringing one most of the time! Ideas?)
