The highlight of January was Ryan's 38th birthday which was celebrated with date night (dinner and a movie) as well as a lovely family birthday dinner at Joyce & Rick's. February has been highlighted with a couple 2 year old birthday parties. This is certainly super enjoyable for Shaye, but another favorite activity for her over the past few months has been our weekly trip to Kiddie Gym. Through the city of Tustin, this is an hour long session at the little gym at a local school, where kids from about 1 to 3 years old get to have free play time, sing songs, do various motor skill exercises, etc. Mostly, she enjoys the time with the other kids. She has been to 15 sessions now and Joyce was able to attend about 5 of them with her, and the others are on my day off. During the last class, Joyce took a bunch of fun pictures. The first few are the kids singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes", then parachute time, then a relay race, then circle time with Ms. Mary Pat and Poochie Lion (puppet) and stamps on many body parts at the end. Shaye made some friends and had some unique fun mid-week. We'll try something new very soon!
