Caroline Goes to Babygarten

Caroline is 10 months old today!! I can't believe it. Only two more months and she will be a year old. I guess it's true...time flies when your having fun! And as parents, we are having more and more fun with her each and everyday. Brian and I have both said at one point or another, "I can't wait until she can..." but we have enjoyed each and every stage so far and are looking forward to many, many more!!

So with that said, Today Caroline went to Babygarten...no not Kindergarten, not yet...Babygarten. This is a 6 week class that is held at our local library. It's a time for kids Newborn to 18 months of age to get together, with their mommies, and have fun singing songs, reading books and most of all playing with toys and having fun with other babies their age. Caroline being "Miss Personality" was a hit with the other babies and mommies in the room. She was actually one of the oldest in our group. There were six babies there, including Caroline, ranging in age from 4 months to 10 months old, all girls except one boy named Dylan. I believe Caroline won the prize for being the most mobile of the group. It was amazing how she was able to spot the other baby that was 10 months old...it's like she said, "There's someone like me and I need to go say hi!" She loved the clapping after each song we sang together. I think she thought that everyone was clapping for her...sounds a little like her mom, right? Her favorite time came when our leader dumped a pile of new toys in the middle of the floor and Caroline headed the other babies off and got the pick of the litter.

So, we sang, we read and we played and then it was time to say goodbye to our new friends until next time. I managed to take a couple of pics of Caroline playing before the camera battery died. Hope to be better prepared next time!

All in all it was a great FIRST day of BabyGarten!

So Many toys...So Little Time!

I think this ball is my favorite.
