update

• I forgot to mention that Zack and I went to the circus with some of our friends last weekend. Zack was entertained most of the time, but especially towards the end he was starting to lose interest. He really liked the elephants (we've been working on getting him to say "elephant."), tigers, horses and zebras (basically the live animals.)


• Our first week at Toddler Group (and now today (Monday) is our second) was a success. Zack especially likes to play in the rice table. Toddler Group is basically open play. There are several different stations or themes he could play with, and it's up to him to decide what to do. He seems to enjoy the slide and the rice table the most. I tried to get him play with the art supplies today, but he wasn't interested. There are 14 moms/kids in our group. After lunch time our leader, Suzy gets out the bubble machine. The kids go crazy with the bubbles. We have circle time where we sing a few songs, dance (Zack showed us all his dance moves!) and then it's time to go home! What a fun day.


• On Sunday we took Zack to the Aquarium. I thought this would be a great idea because he loves this Ocean Animals book he got from his Auntie Debbie. He got to touch the starfish and sea anenomes, but really he loved splashing his hands in the water. He loved watching the otters swim. We saw lots of fish, big, small and every size in between!
