play dates

Jake and I always look forward to Thursday afternoons. We get together with other stay-at-home parents and their children for play dates. My friends Amber and Gretchen plan the activities for the week, and we always have a great time. Jake loves watching the older kids and looking at the many babies everywhere. He truly is a people person and is content just studying everyone and everything. We've read stories, played with balls and parachutes, made music with wooden spoons and pots, and much more! This past Thursday the kids were able to dress up in costumes, and Jake made his first art projects. He made an apple turkey with marshmallows and raisins, as well as a turkey out of his hand and decorated it with leaves. This is just a taste of what the future will hold, I'm sure! Today we're making goo... a tactile experience for all ages. I'll let you know how it goes and perhaps take a picture of Jake at the end. I have a feeling it's going to get messy...
