The girls have been doing gymnastics for almost 2 years now and they really enjoy it. Since Ryder was born I've been taking him to watch the girls every Friday morning. He's been a trouper about being carted along to all their activities, but the last few months have been challenging because he wants to be doing stuff. When the girls are in class I end up chasing him all over the gymnastics building and trying to keep him out of the tumbling area. Now that he's 19 months I decided I would do the Mommy & Me class with him at the same time. Today was our first day and he hated it. What a hot mess! He screamed and cried and wouldn't let me put him down. The class is supposed to be 18mos.-3 years old, which is a huge gap at that age and he's on the young side of the gap. We lasted about 10 minutes in class before I went up to the desk and promptly told them we wouldn't be returning until he's about 2 1/2. We left the class and he told me he was hungry so we hopped in the car and drove through Starbucks to get me a coffee and him a slice of pumpkin bread. He ate 2 bites of his bread and fell asleep in his car seat. Poor little guy was tired from all that screaming :)
After the girls finished their class we met up with Mimi & Aunt Jess at McDonald's for a little playdate. The one down the street from us has a cute little toddler area, not the big nasty play structure with E. coli balls. The kids were having lots of fun playing together and they really liked the Smurfs that came in their Happy Meals (that they barely ate). Cory told Reese a long time ago that McD's is bad for you and will make you fat. So not cool, but I think he was trying to drive home the point that we really don't eat that kind of food. Well today Reese was standing there in the thick of things talking about how McDonald's is so bad for you and will make you fat. We really need to watch what we say because they sure know how to repeat every single word they hear.
