Gymboree!

Miss M attended her first birthday party yesterday. Miss A from daycare turned one and hosted her party at Gymboree. M had a blast, crawling all over the slide and mats, getting right into the middle of the action with the big kids. She was jumping off the boxes (with my help) and walking across the giant air tube (with my help), she was even crawling right up to the teachers all by herself and played with them.

The parachute and bubbles where highlights of the day - they spread out a parachute, sing a song, and blow bubbles at the kids. M crawled right to the center of the parachute and kept trying to pick up the bubbles. She was completely enthralled. She also thoroughly enjoyed scarfing down her first cupcake. She sucked all the frosting off the top of the cupcake then took little nibbles of the cake while I held it (she ate the whole thing). One of the older little boys saw her and said, "Mommy, look at that baby's face!", M was full of frosting. Then I noticed that his mommy was meticulously picking the pink sprinkles off the top of his cupcake because he didn't like them. Maggie literally inhaled her cupcake, and yet the four year old was disgusted by sprinkles. I hope she stays this open-minded.

Here are a few pictures from Daddy's phone camera:


M's very first cupcake - she's in love.
