"Thank you for all the great toys at Christmas!"
We finished the toy room just in time! Good thing because Alex received a lot of neat stuff! From Grandma Hayes and Aunt Sandy he got some of the Little People circus sets. He just loves anything that plays music. Grandma Hayes also gave him a bounce and spin zebra that plays music. He is just now learning to keep his balance while sitting on the zebra so that he can bounce and dance to the music!
We spend much of our day in the toy room playing. Santa brought Alex a Thomas battery operated riding train complete with a whistle! The track just goes around and around in a small circle. We are thinking of buying an
extension that will convert it into a figure eight track. I think he may get a little dizzy on the current configuration!
We just started a water babies swim class last week! The class is only 30-minutes long, but it is a lot of work! There is only one other baby in the class, so we get a lot of one-on-one time with the instructor. She is really good with him and says that he is a natural in the water. We play games, sing songs, and use a variety of tools to help him float and practice kicking and (mostly) splashing. I hope to get someone at the pool to take a few pictures of us swimming at some point.
Finally, snow! I know this is something that every adult dreads, but every child dreams of...
