Being one year old is so much fun for Shannon AND for mommy and daddy! Now that Shannon is walking and growing up she is so much more interested in everything! We are able to take her out to do more activities where she can participate.
Today our park district hosted a Family Toddler Day. The rec center was filled with all kinds of activities for kids under 5. One room had children from the dance classes performing tap, ballet and jazz routines. For a baby who loves to dance this was a special treat and she couldn't take her eyes off the dancers while clapping with the music!
Outside was a petting zoo with goats, lambs, and other small barn animals. Since we haven't been to the zoo yet Shannon has only known animals in books and I think she wasn't sure what to make of it all! She did get a little brave and pet a goat or two. It was really chilly and windy so I'm guessing that may have been a factor as well.
Inside there was a music room with instruments, bells, and all kinds of sound makers to play with. This she loved! She didn't look back at us once and could have played all day. I signed up to be on the mailing list and we won a gift certificate for a future class. We will be able to start class in the fall, can't wait!
