Busy Week!

We've had a very busy week this week!  First, Caylee has started Kindermusik!  We go on Monday evenings, which wouldn't have been my first choice since we have all day, but they canceled the Tuesday morning class.  Anyways, there are about 6 other kids in the class, most have been going since they were 2 months old!!! (We're behind!) haha... she is so not behind at all... At this age, it's all about repetition, songs and play.  I will say it's a long 45 minutes for me because they want you to pick your child up and run with them, bounce them, throw them etc...  I'm about 20 weeks pregnant and that is getting harder to do!!  The teacher was super sweet and I modified some things too, Caylee LOVED it.

After Kindermusik, we hung out inside all week.  Our first sick week. :( I won't blame it on kindermusik because the weather here has been so up and down too... plus, I've had her in other nursery-like settings and she doesn't get sick.  But nonetheless, she had a low fever and yucky nose so we stayed in.  I could tell she didn't feel well because after naptime she laid with me and had a blanket covering her.... NEVER happens.  I kind of enjoyed her just laying with me (because that really never happens!). 

See.. really sick :(  You can even see the Tylenol stains from where she spit it out. 



      By Saturday, she was doing better so we headed off to swim lessons!  Yep, we've also started swim lessons. 

**Sidenote: When I woke up Saturday to 46 degrees I was reconsidering my decision, but decided to stick it out anyways-- even though it's indoors, the idea of putting a bathing suit on when it's so cold outside is not appealing, but I wanted us to have something fun to do. 
    
     This particular class is for 6months-3yrs old.  I thought that was a pretty large age range, but once we got there I realized many parents up here don't start their kids swimming early at all (probably the cold weather).  However, since we'll be going to FL and TX plenty I want her to know to swim... it's so warm down south! The class wasn't full, about 6 kids, but that was plenty.  The water was SUPER warm, too warm almost!  They did lots of songs and really just want to get kids familiar with the water.  I think I would have preferred the safety swim method, but not many people teach that.  This was fine though.  She cried a LOT about halfway through.  I think maybe it was overwhelming or she was hungry (it was during lunch time and we're both pretty scheduled eaters)  :).  Hopefully, next week she'll like it.... I picked Saturdays in the hopes that Matt could go once in a while, so we'll see if that works out. 


Before lessons, everyone happy....

After lessons... exhausted... (notice the long sleeves and jeans too! AHH)

The Thursday library days start up here in another week, so we'll be adding that to our weekly schedule soon too.  It's ok, I enjoy having things to do, and I love that she'll get the socialization and maybe even we'll start to meet more people.  It's good to get out of the house because I know once baby 2 comes there will be a few weeks where that doesn't happen much....  :)
