gymboree class


jack has so much fun at his gymboree class. today was our last day for his level 3 class. next week we are going to move up to the level 4 class!! he will be the younger one in the class instead of the older one in the class which will be good for him i think. anyway, he loves to rock on this horse!


he sat on the big mat and started clapping for some reason today :)


he LOVES all the different balls they have at the gym. he thought these were strange!


he thinks he is so strong when he pushes this huge ball :)


they have lots of tunnels to crawl through and he usually will look up at me with a huge grin on his face when he sees me on the other side, but not today. he was interested in the grooves on this tunnel i think (plus he found a piece of dirt in it and was really into picking it up and handing it to me)


more balls! he loves to throw them and then put them back in the basket


showing his good climbing into something technique...jack is really really good at "going feet first" when i tell him to. i didn't get that on camera of course because if i am telling him to go feet first then it means it is high and i need to be there for him in case he falls. anyway, there is a mat there that is about 5-10 inches of the ground and he is so cute figuring out how to get off of it. he stops, looks down, sits down, gets on his belly, and then goes feet first. i love watching him do this and am so happy that he has caught onto going feet first. i had to teach him that a long time ago when he learned to get on the couch. i wanted to make sure he knew a safe way to get down just in case i wasn't right there with him.


in the boat. all the kids love this thing. i remember having this boat in my sunday school room at the church i went to when i was little. you can turn it upside down to make stairs (bridge).

on a side note:
jack has not nursed in 3 days!! this is a big deal for us. i nursed him for 16 months and 1 week! i am proud of myself and proud of him for doing so well with it. i am sad to be done but happy at the same time. i am ready to be able to let the grandparents watch him for a night and i am sure they are too!! i loved that time with jack and will remember it forever.

another side note:
we have hardwood floors in all the bedrooms! we didn't know we had them until i over flowed the toilet (too much info)! anyway, i did and johnny lifted up the carpet to see how much water had soaked into the pad. when he did we saw hardwood floors!! it is the same hardwood that we have through out the house but it hasn't been stained. so we are planning on refinishing them this summer!

Love the new blog design! Kate's doing better with getting down from the couch now. I think it helped putting cushions down and letting her just play, then putting them back in place. I think she saw the difference in height between the couch and the floor and when there's cushions down. She's gone down feet first a bunch of times now. Thankfully she hasn't been interested in climbing and walking on the couch here in Vermont. :)
