Our friend's son, Eli, turned 3 this week so they had a birthday party for him at USA Sports. The kids get to run around and play with "coaches" and do fun physical activities. Aaden was the youngest one that participated - he pretty much did what he wanted since he's not great at following directions at this point. He had a fun time though. One of the floors at the facility is a real bouncy surface and Aaden had a great time jumping around on that. One of the coaches was really impressed that he could jump with both feet - she said that she has some 2 1/2 year olds that can't do that yet. She was also really impressed that he could hold a ball, throw it up (a few inches) and catch it. He just mastered this skill - he loves playing with balls at home so he's had a lot of practice. I must say, it made Aaron and I beam with pride a bit to be told that Aaden was doing so well with those things.
Oh and we got a new word today ---> "Go". We were getting ready to leave for the party and I said, "let's go" and out of no where, he said "GO!" Clear as day. :)

Just hangin' on the bouncy floor
Running away...
Now back to the big ball
(look at the poor coach's face - she was exhausted from chasing him)
Hopping on the trampoline
More balls!
He definitely had fun!
I think if he could have he would have just played with the balls all day
and jumped on the bouncy floor!
That is adorable! Grace just mastered rolling the ball and she jumps like a champ too. Unfortunately she just gets hit in the face if we throw a ball at her... no catching going on here!
ReplyDeleteLooks like A had a great time! He's so cute!
