Other Activities

As I mentioned before it took me a while to recover from sickness, and then find the motivation to start planning weekly activities again.  It was also because Braden had a lot of other activities going on and we had busy weekends away with birthdays and a memorial service.  

There was a week and a half where we didn't do any themes (we missed Dr. Seuss' birthday - I had some cute ideas, which I will have to save for next year).  Here are a few of the events/activities that have been going to keep us nice and busy!

Braden and I started a mommy & toddler yoga class with some of our friends.  We did a trial 4 weeks and a new 6 week session begins on Monday.

On Tuesdays we try to walk the mall to get a little bit of exercise.  Once it is warmer we will start walking outside.

An impromptu play-date where we made some crepes and the moms visited.

We missed our Valentine's Day play-date, because many moms & babies were sick.  So, we did a re-do.  One of the mom's (Jasmin) has an amazing blog and she wrote a post about the play-date: http://ouvrezvosyeuxjdr.blogspot.com/2013/03/belated-valentines-day-play-date.html

We also had two birthday weekends away.  

This week we tried a few new story times (Kennebunk & Gorham).  I think we will try the Saco one this week and decide which we like the best.  

We also participated in a toddler nutrition class.  The first class focused on green smoothies and "sneaking" vegetables in.  Braden took two sips of the trial one in class and said "all done".  So, we will have to try a few to see if we can make it taste a little better for him.  The second class is in two weeks.  

Oh and I almost forgot last Friday we had our Toddler Busy Bag play date.  It was something that I had organized for the end of February, but we had a snow storm and it was cancelled.  I had set up a spreadsheet with different toddler oriented activities that could be made and stored in ziploc bags.  Then each mom chose one to make and made one for all participants.  Then we came together to swap & the kiddos could play.  It worked out really nicely.  Again, Jasmin wrote an amazing blog post all about it:  http://ouvrezvosyeuxjdr.blogspot.com/2013/03/toddler-busy-bag-exchange-and-making-of.html  

Now, things have kind of settled down a bit and I have planned a few activities for this week around St. Patrick's Day.  So, hopefully Braden and I are back on track with our themes!
