busy bee

Now that Eloise is as such a fun, social age, we are beginning to get her involved in more programs.  She definitely is shy, and takes a while to warm up.  But, within an hour or so, she becomes a little busy bee.  She likes to entertain the crowd (she sings and dances with her princess or does funny things and laughs at herself). She is starting to understand playing with friends, even though sharing isn't her forte.  I am sure she will learn.

As of right now she goes to Swim Class on Monday mornings and that's all.  I am going back to work in exactly 2 weeks (!!) and then my mom will be taking her.  I am even thinking about signing her up for the next spring session of swim lessons.  She usually enjoys it (today she cried the whole time, who knows why?) and I think it will be good for her to constantly be in the pool.  Then every Tuesday, while I am working, Julian is going to drop Eloise off to my mom at the Barnes and Noble in the Monmouth mall and they have toddler story time at 10:30.  Then my mom is going to drive her up north and do lunch with her great grandmother. Probably after a quick trip to the Disney store haha. Everyone is so excited about Tuesdays up north, because all my aunts and uncles will probably be dropping everything they have to do, to go eat lunch with her.  Wednesdays are just regular days at home with her Nan (my mom).  They can go to the park and play in the playroom. Thursday and Friday's are Nan's days off.  So Julian is in charge.  Every thursday from March 29th-May 3rd, Eloise and her daddy are going to music class.  It is 45 minutes long and they sing and dance and play instruments.  I am surprised that Julian agreed to do this, but he seemed happy to join in and take her to toddler music class. HA! I hope he takes pictures because I would LOVE to see how this works. Friday's are days at home with daddy.  I am hoping that Eloise and Julian can take me out to lunch on Friday's once I get settled.

So that is Miss Busy Bee's schedule for the Spring. I am sad to know that I won't be there every second to play with her but I am even more happy she has fun things to do every week!

I am also very excited for summer.  I have a list of about 15 things we want to do this summer (dorwood splash park, sesame place, hershey park, camden aquarium, please touch museum, philadelphia zoo, etc.) and also we are going to see if there are some more mommy and me programs we can join.  I am interested in Mommy and Me gymnastics. I found a program at Devlin gymnastics for her age group that is pretty close to our house. They also have an art and music class at the Atlantic club and maybe some more swim classes.

I can't wait to watch Eloise experience all these fun, new things! Hopefully she will enjoy most of it :)
