Gymboree

Today I joined Gymboree. Mommy will take me two times a week to classes. One class is for music and the other is for play. I had a real fun time today playing with Gymbo the clown, bubbles, parachutes and gym equipment. I practiced standing up and building my crawling muscles. I got to beat on a big drum and giggled a lot. The teacher laughed at me because I drooled and/or spit-up all over the mat, balls, parachute, play tunnel and Mommy.

Because I am getting to be such a big boy and have learned to sit by myself (just a little while though) I get to begin in Level 2! The people are really nice there and I think I am going to really enjoy it.

Mommy & Daddy nego…negotia…negotia… got a real good deal AND they get to take me to Baby Sign classes too! That way I can tell then what I want or need before I can speak! I think it will be cool!

I ALSO (yeah Mommy & Daddy DID get a good deal) get FREE PLAY at the gym whenever I want (unless there is a class). That way Grandma Susie, Grandma Jo and Grandpa Howie can take me to play too! (*hint hint hint*)

Well, off for my nap. Oh yeah I almost forgot to say that today is Sweet Potato Day! YUMMY!

My first Christmas wish list

So, Mom & Dad have told me all about Christmas. I’m really excited about it! They told me I have to write a letter to Santa so he knows what I want for Christmas. They also told me I have to be a really good boy (but I’m not so sure about whether that’s true or not — I’m thinking of taking after Daddy and we all know he’s no angel!!!)

Since I can’t talk (or write) Mommy & Daddy helped by taking pictures of the things I pointed at (and stared at) in the store and agreed to put them in a letter to Santa for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Santa,

I’ve been really good for Mommy & Daddy this year. (Mommy says I kick too much and keep her up at night but I’m trying to be good). I eat my meals really well and help Mommy feed me. (Although I do get carried away and get it everywhere…) Since I was born, I’ve learned to roll over and sit up. I’ve started remembering that there are toys hidden behind things even if I can’t see them.

Mommy & Daddy took me to Target to look for toys so you can find everything on my list there (if you’re reading this on my blog you can click on an item name to see it on Target’s website but Mom said prices are cheaper in the real store and the Super Target in Clearwater stocks all of these even if the website says “web only”).

I can’t wait to see what you bring me for my first Christmas! Fly safe and don’t forget to eat your cookie fuel.

Besides the fun stuff, Mommy made me tell you that because I have grown too fast I need new clothes in size 12 months and up.
