Gymboree!!!!!!

Today, J and I met my dear friend Jen and her husband Brad for lunch and Gymboree! Emma and Harper got to play and explore! It was soooo cool! We are going to sign up for a month's worth of classes. It was too hilarious. Emma clearly needs to work on following directions. Also, I think socializing with other kids (besides the 5 she attends "daycare" with). J took these pics on his Blackberry, so they aren't the greatest, but they are cute!

Here we are playing with the parachute. Most all of the babies were crying when we (the parents) were flipping/slinging it around.

In this "activity" Emma was supposed to sit on the slick blanket thing and the instructor would pull her through the tube. She was not down with that. It was still funny!

Meems and Mommy playing! Emma crawled through this foam circle

thing and then went down the slide.

Overall, it was a lot of fun for Emma and the parents! Jen and I are going to go each Saturday for a month. Maybe as they get older we will do other classes like art or music. :D

On a completely unrelated note, Emma has been sent to time out! J/K. She is fascinated with the dog's crates and goes in there and "closes" the door. I don't want DFACS on my doorstep, so know that this was a joke. :D

Oh, look at the free baby with purchase of a big girl carseat! I'll take that one!

This is the carseat we bought, and this is what Meems looks like in it. Too cute!

OK, off to work on the birthday picture editing, writing thank you notes, and maybe blogging about Emma's first birthday party.

Sidenote: why do men (ahem, husband) not have to write ANY thank you notes? That drives me bonkers! It's not always "my job."

Peace.
