Today was a rather busy Saturday by every account imaginable. We actually got up so that we could be at the grocery story by 8:30 so that we could be done by 10. (Yes, it typically takes us 90 minutes to two hours to complete our grocery shopping, because we have to walk through the entire SuperTarget to make sure we don't miss any exciting new treasures). And what caused this timeline, you might be asking ... we were meeting some friends with an eight-month-old to attend a family music hour at the library.
This was our first foray into family music hour, and we were lucky because it was six months to five years ... so K just made the cut-off age (though, since they don't make kids show proof of age ... even if he hadn't, we probably could have brought him.) It was just like how you imagine (or what you've seen on TV). Lots of fun-loving parents with children, singing and dancing and just being silly.
K was one of the older kids there ... there were maybe two girls who were probably around his age. O was one of the younger kids there (with maybe our friends' son being the youngest). Both boys tried to take items from other children. Although, K did it to try to help the instructor collect the items (however, I don't think the little girl he took it from quite understood this.)
And who perhaps had the best time ... D. He enjoyed it so much and commented we should try it again. Yes, when it comes to which one of us was genetically predisposed to be a stay-at-home parent ... it was definitely him. I'm wondering if this will make him reconsider attending some of the ECFE play times that are tailored toward stay-at-home parents. I doubt it ... but maybe it will make him branch out a little.
I enjoyed it, too. It was fun to just be silly as a family and watch the boys around other children. (O was at first very intimidated and clawed onto me for dear life ... but after a few minutes, he wanted to just walk all over the place.)
Here's to silliness!
