Monkeying Around

I have no good excuse for not blogging last week. I am simply a lazy, uncreative person. I should have put Sawyer in some spectacular pose and taken lots of pictures, but instead we jut played.

We were invited to a Curious George birthday party on Saturday. My friend Kristy's daughter Caroline is turning four. Her birthday was held at The Little Gym which is a neat place for structured play focusing on tumbling and other gymnastics-like skills geared for younger kids. Gymboree is the program available for kids Sawyer's age.

Sawyer was pretty apprehensive at first, but he quickly warmed up to the idea of roaming around the gym. He was too young to participate in the structured activities with the older kids, but he had a blast nonetheless. Chad and Kristy also have a daughter named Cate who celebrates her first birthday this month. She and Sawyer were fun to watch, toddling and crawling through the maze of mats and equipment.


Sawyer and Cate weren't too sure what to make of each other.


Sawyer had fun on the parallel bars. We can tell when he's really focusing because that tongue comes out. That's Kristy and Chad in the background.


More fun on the bars. There's that tongue again!


"Whee!"


He even did a flip before it was all over. My heart was flipping right along with him!
