Gymboree Fun

Gymboree is a huge part of our week. We go every Monday and we both look forward to our day out! We missed last week because Nathan and I were both under the weather, but he made up for lost time today!


As soon as we walk into the playroom, Nate is off exploring! He loves crawling on and off of this mat. And you know what a bouncer Mr. Nate is...well this is perfect for him! He bounces up and down and then throws himself forward to land on his tummy.


A fun activity that we do each week is "Pushing the Log." It's a big inflatable log that the kids roll back and forth. This was actually the first time that Nathan really wanted to do it. He usually stands by the log, but once it starts rolling, he stops and crawls away. But this time he helped roll it all the way across the room!


Nathan is not scared of anything! He crawled up this slide to get Gymbo the Clown.


I think his plan was to kidnap Gymbo...he grabbed Gymbo's leg and then scooted back down the slide with him.


And each week, we all sit on the parachute while the teacher goes around blowing bubbles for each baby. Nathan always tries to grab them in the air and then crawls around to find bubbles on the ground to try to pick up.



This picture is to show you his latest ouchy. See the line in the middle of his forehead? He was standing while holding onto one of our French doors, lost his balance, and hit his head right on the edge. As soon as he did it, there was a huge whelp, and the bruise was already forming. He only cried for a short time, but I completely lost it! I felt so horrible for him, and it looked so much worse than it actually was.



There he goes up another slide. This is why I worry about him! He'll do anything!


And of course, he had to try the soft obstacle course which he completed successfully! At the end is a wedge piece that slopes down. Nathan loved crawling really fast down that part!


And when it's time to leave, I get all of our stuff packed up and he plays here with his friends until I'm ready. I usually have to pry his fingers open when it's time to leave :)
