Time for Goldfish

Holly was all about being a little baby when we last went to Toddler Corner. She wanted to climb into the play pen and play with the toys in there, so I put her in, then the older kids followed and they all jumped around.
Later they sat down together for a snack. Holly has this little Dixie Cup filled 1/2 way with goldfish, but she kept tilting the cup and spilling them everywhere.I guess that's one way to find out if your ready to use a big girl cup or not. She can drink from one if i hold it and help her, but she likes water and liquid so much, she will even turn her bottle upside down and let the remaining milk drip out so she can slosh around in it, if I'm not watching close.Then there is the climbing phase she is going through. i think I tell her chairs are for sitting about 20 times a day. She will stand and climb on just about anything she can. Her new favorite thing, that gives me a heart attack is she learned a way to climb into her little shopping cart.Here is a little video of Holly sitting at the Toddler Table playing with and eating her Goldfish snack, climbing up and down, and then running off.

She found the baby swing and climbed into it all on her own, and then did the sign for swing, so I turned it on for her. What a silly little thing she is.

Toddler Corner

Recently Sarah and Isabel met us at Toddler Corner. It's this play place that is located in the Nursery Room at a Local Church. It is a very nice, smallish space that they open on Friday Mornings from 1000 - 1:30 PMThere are a lot of really fun toys for the kids to play with. It is an enclosed space, there is a table with chairs, toddler size for snacks, and great and friendly mom's to chat with.It is free for the public to come and play for the 3.5 hour session, and it is something to do on a Friday Morning. We had a lot of fun, but I think Holly got antsy after too long, she needs more space for running around I think.One thing that we really enjoyed about it though was how everyone had snack time together. We didn't come prepared the first time and everyone shared there snacks with us, we even got a yogurt, some goldfish, cheese.There is a play kitchen and blocks and puzzles, some push carts, instruments. Mostly though it is fun because of the other moms and dads. It is nice to chat while the kids play with each other. I have run into moms there that I know from other places, and that's always fun too.
