*Lorelei's first time attending a birthday party where she could actually have fun with the other kids -- it took place at a tumbling gym and Lorelei discovered the wonders of "jumping" on a trampoline! Also, it was superhero themed, and she looks amazing in her Wolverine mask.
*We loved the gym so much that we decided to start going to parent/toddler open gym on Friday mornings -- what fun!
*We went back to Kite Fest! It's amazing to think about how much Lorelei has grown since last time we were there. And we made some new friends: Leo and Maia, the son and daughter of Jason's new colleague Lenny and his wife, Laura.
*We started swimming lessons again on Thursday mornings, and Lorelei is also now attending a music class on Saturdays. She's the youngest but perhaps the most earnest member of her class -- she doesn't always understand what's going on but she loves the songs they play and getting to play with all of the instruments. She's also very good at putting her mallets or shakers back in the box when the teacher sings the clean up song!
*We went to an apple orchard for a morning of fun with Leo, Maia, Jack, and Natalie. Best parts: the giant slide that was miraculously slow enough for little toddlers to enjoy, a silo filled with dried corn kernels to roll around in, and apple cider donuts. Lorelei did a great job with all kinds of crazy preschoolers running around and knocking her over (we apparently decided to go on a really busy field trip day -- plus it was cold and windy!). Jack and Natalie's mom took some pictures -- they are not the most flattering of Lorelei, I'm sorry to say, but you can tell she was having fun.
Here's hoping my camera gets fixed soon -- somebody is going to be 16 months old next week!
