Today was a milestone day for myself and Aven. We first went to the library for Music and Movement class then headed to the Brea mall to get Aven's ears pierced. Since Aven appeared to be fine after the piercing we went to Gymboree for another baby class.
Aven had a ball today! The girl is such a happy little ham. She smiled, laughed, talked and played with any adult or child who looked her way. i must say the free activities at the library for babies and children under 5 is very impressive. It's also a great way to interact with other children in the neighborhood. I held my jolly infant as we sang, danced, listened to stories and learned some sign language. The setting at Gymboree was more intimate and you work one on one with your baby. Aven, being the nosy neighbor she is, was focused on everyone else instead of me and the activity at hand. She loved the bubbles and lying back staring at the multicolored parachute. As a mother it felt good to do something besides go to Walmart and run errands with her. Taking the time to give your baby her own day is rewarding
