We had an usually eventful week. We went to Tanjong Beach Club on Saturday to celebrate Christine's birthday and as reluctant as I was to take Charlotte off of her afternoon nap schedule - she loved the beach! She of course loved chasing the dogs around and playing with the sand. Silly mommy forgot her swimsuit but luckily Traejen graciously loaned us his swim trunks. Christine's mom took Charlotte in the pool - and she loved it! A great day that resulted in 5 hours of napping on Sunday! I think we may have found Charlotte's weekly routine....
Sunday we tried storytelling by our house - Charlotte was the only kid and didn't really have the attention span for it. A good trial for $5. I think if there were other kids she could have modeled their behavior (assuming that they would be undividedly listening).
Monday was Matt's birthday - he got this amazing angry birds cake at work and we went to Hooha's for a steak dinner. Nice and lowkey - just like Matt!
Monday Charlotte helped me get ready to go to work (I am sometimes working at Matt's). We jammed out to my Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack on audio cassette. Who says you can't dance to '80's music?
Tuesday I took Charlotte to a baby yoga class - there were 3 other kids and there was a lot of running around. I did not realize it was so mommy participatory as my pregnancy prevented many moves. Our teacher Sam was accommodating to my limitations - she had the patient yet bubbly disposition of teaching small kids - something that I probably will never have. Charlotte was a star with her daddy-taught 'tuck your head and roll' technique that also made her a standout at My Gym. Who knew I could give birth to someone with athletic skills? Hmm. I suppose a subconscious decision on natural selection. Anyway - the class was fun - I hope to go again soon.
BTW - I have a new niece - Sabrina Smith was born on Matt's birthday (Oct 3). She looks a lot like her daddy...
A very busy week indeed!

Happy at the park!
