Lobweek: April 2009

Addie's favorite shows are preceded by commercials targeted at kids. We have the shows recorded and I usually fast-forward through the commercials. I guess she sees more of them than I think: She saw a picture of the ChuckECheese mascot on a coupon and said "look!"
I asked her if she knew who it was without saying his name.
Her reply: "that's Chucky Jesus."
(ChuckECheese is a proud sponsor...)

Anamstics

A sports complex about 20 minutes from our house opens the gymnastics arena to kids for an hour on Wednesdays. For$6, kids can be wide open in a huge padded room. It's great. Addie really liked using her balance and jumping around in the foam pits.

Her friend Sam goes to the gym and was teaching Addie all sorts of tricks like jumping from the high beam into the foam. First she had to climb the ladder.

Here's a shot of Sam mid-air, just to give an idea of how high it is for a 2 year old.

She had a great time. We'll go back again, I'm sure!

Addie's first drawing of a person

She calls it a balloon because it has a string. But it also has eyes, ears, a mouth, and a mustache. She started with the balloon then surprised herself when she realized she had drawn a recognizable picture. Now she draws "balloons" over and over.
