Since a few months now, Elliot and I are attending a Mommy-and-me class once a week. Together with other moms and their babies (ages: 3 months up to a year) we sing songs, do circle time and sensory stimulation/ motions with instructions from a gymnastics teacher. This helps to promote the baby’s cognitive, social, and physical development all while having some fun and meeting other moms. The first couple of weeks were rough, but now Elliot is really enjoying this 45 minute class.
Usually the class is on Wednesdays when Amelia is in preschool , but during the summer break it's on Fridays. Thus, the big sister has been joining us for the past few weeks and I think she enjoys it as much as the babies do.
Though today was special at baby gymnastics because the little ones received their first medal and certificate for completing a 10-week course. Of course, all that tumbling, crawling, singing and rolling is tiring so by the time our instructor, Ms. Elizabeth, handed out the awards, my little guy was fast asleep in my arms. We are very proud of you, Elliot.
We also went to a "Frozen" Party today at a local toy store and Amelia was able to meet her favorite characters from the movie "Frozen". Here she is our little princess Amelia with Princess Anna and Queen Elsa.
Not only did she meet the princesses at the store but also her girlfriends Sofia and Katie. The girls enjoyed crafting a princess crown, eating icy-blue popcorn and playing with all the toys in the store.
And for Amelia's birthday and complementing the Frozen theme, her friends gave her a matching dinnerware set, placemat and water bottle. What a lucky little girl :)
