Catching up.

I finally got around to sorting some of the photos from the past few months.

Isaac had a fantastic time at the Vancouver MusicFest at VanDusen Garden.  We bumped into one of Isaac's playgroup friends and one of the families from our birthing group there.  I also met up with one of my friends from grad school there with her baby.  Lots of kids seemed to love the Bobs and LoLo concert but Isaac didn't seem to enjoy it so we had to leave that a bit early.  He cheered up after he got a blue helium balloon and jumped around in a bouncy castle for a bit.  Then we moved onto the tent with a bunch of chairs and drums layer out.  Isaac especially loved playing with the drums!  We spent a lot of time there participating in the drumming circle session.  The kids started off playing and stopping when signalled (and Isaac stopped only when he noticed everyone else wasn't playing).  Then they were asked to playback beats.  During one part of the workshop, the facilitator asked individual kids to play solos (and have everyone else echo back what was played).  Isaac got to play a solo.  After what seemed like a long time, Isaac wandered off his drum and left the tent.  There was also another tent set up to let people try all sorts of instruments (a musical petting zoo).  He fell asleep in his stroller as we walked around the garden.

Today we had a creative movements class today.  I didn't really like the class so I ended up withdrawing from it.

We got a letter from the preschool with our September schedule.  The kids have a gradual entry into the program.  During the first two weeks, some kids go during the first half, and some kids go during the second half.  There's a parent orientation on the first day and I think we need to schedule in our parental volunteer duty days.  I've been reading Isaac "Llama Llama misses mama" in preparation for the Twos Time program.
