Mother Goose on the Loose!

Madeline and I have been attending a class at the New Albany/Floyd County library on Tuesday mornings with Anna and Emery. It's called Mother Goose on the Loose and it is free to any child 0-24 months. We sing, read books, and interact with nursery rhymes. Maddie is warming up to each part, and she definitely participated more the second week!

Resourceful?

Someone needed a little help climbing up on our bed, so she used what she could find! Glad the body pillow is still useful to someone...

Gymnastics

I enrolled Madeline in a parent and tot gymnastics class at SIGS. Her friends Cammie and Luciana are in the class as well, they were also previously enrolled in the last session. The class is for kids 18 months - 3 years.

The first night... was awful! She refused to do anything and basically cried and wanted me to hold her the entire time. Seriously questioned my judgment on that decision...

The second, third, and fourth nights have been easier. I think she was just nervous and overwhelmed. She participates, follows directions, and actually has fun! Her favorite parts are climbing the ladder, front rolls, jumping on the trampoline, and walking the balance beams. Her favorite thing is when I toss her in to the cheese pit at the end during free time! She is warming up to the bars, she will actually grab on to them on her own and then let me hold her hands while I touch her toes to the bar. The only weird thing is she does great with me, but if the teacher comes close she gets nervous and won't do anything anymore! Guess we are still warming up to Miss Jen.

Summer Evenings

This is how we are spending our summer... Outside with friends, driving Power Wheels, and pushing baby strollers! We are loving every minute!!

Shopping!

New words are added to Madeline's vocabulary every day! Recently we have added the word hat. While Father's Day shopping for Grandpa Dan she saw this hat on the rack and was asking me for it. I got it down for her and she proceeded to wear it around the store. She won't wear any of her own hats... But this one she liked!
