Little Gym and Coffee Shop

On October 10th we took Shawn to the Little Gym. This is our usual Friday morning activity. He has been in this class since February and absolutely loves it. We can definitely tell the days that he doesn't get to attend, he just seems a little lost. Here are some pictures from that day.
Doing beginning activities with Mommy. I think this is the "stop for a hug and a kiss" part of the song. My favorite part! :)
Looking out the window. There is nothing out there, so I'm not sure what he was looking at.
Then Gerrit joined him at the window. Shawn must have telling him what was out there?
Now Gerrit is telling Shawn what they can get into next. These two are definitely partners in crime! :)
Doing one of the weekly activities. They usually involve some kind of climbing--which Shawn absolutely LOVES!
Again looking out the window. This time he is looking at the Starbucks drive-in across the parking lot.
A Mommy and Shawn moment.
Hanging and swinging from a beam. He is such a dare-devil! He absolutely loves to do this.
He also likes walking on the beam. This one is low, so he can do it by himself.
Here he is on the beam. His instructor Jamie was encouraging him along.
Daddy helping Shawn on the higher beam. This one is a few feet off the ground, so he needs assistance.
Daddy helping Shawn to walk on the beam. Oops! I cut out the beam....it looks like Shawn is walking in mid-air. :)
Shawn bending over to pick up a ball. I think this was Upside down and backwards week in our class.
After our class we met our good friends Stephanie and Bella at a coffee shop in Longmont. It is really cool because it was opened in February by a mother of 4 (her youngest was only 3 weeks old when the coffee shop opened!). She has an area up front for patrons with little kids--there are activity tables for kids, puzzles, books, etc. It was a lot of fun to get to sit an enjoy a cup of coffee with Stephanie and let the two kids play. However, I had to watch Shawn very carefully because he walked over to a small girl sitting in a chair and ate the top off of her muffin!!! I was HORRIFIED!!! You'd think we never feed this kid....although he is underweight, he probably needed the muffin worse than she did! HA!

Shawn exploring the place.

Bella sporting her best "cheese" face. Just adorable!

Stephanie, lets do this again real soon!! :)
