The Very Busy Baby

Sophie had a very busy day today. This morning we got up and got dressed right away because our play group was meeting at the Children's Museum. They have an exhibit just for children under 4 where the kids got to climb on structures, experiment with shapes and push different buttons to hear sounds from the rainforest. In addition to the kiddie room, we also got to explore a computer room, an art room and a music room. We didn't get to stay the whole time because straight from the museum we had to go to swim class. Sophie took a cat nap in the car, and then got an unexpected private lesson since the other student wasn't there today. During her lesson she had her picture taken under water. We got to see it on the camera, but we'll have to wait until her last class to get a copy. At the end of her lesson, Sophie got her very first progress report, which we proudly put on the fridge! It says that she is a very happy swimmer and that she does well with everything. We are going to keep working on blowing bubbles since she hasn't shown much interest in doing that yet. After swim class Sophie took a very long and much needed nap. Her day still wasn't over. Sophie's friend Shea came over and spent the evening with us while daddy and Shea's mommy were at a seminar. Sophie and Shea had a lot of fun playing together. They took turns pushing each other on the truck, they took a bath together, and we read lots of stories. I tried unsuccessfully to get them both to sleep at various times during the night, but when Shea's mommy came to pick her up at 10:15, both girls were awake. Sophie fell asleep almost immediately after Shea left, and I'm sure Shea was asleep well before they made it home. It was definitely a very busy day!
