Bounce It Out

Today was a fun filled day with friends.  Jason, Claudia and i got to meet the Braithwaite family who are adopting "Edik" from Eastern Europe, follow their blog here: http://lightingoursteps.blogspot.com/ They are such a wonderful family and would love your support in helping bring their son home.  They had a lovely bake sale and a Zumbathon!  It was so much fun even if we did not Zumba.  While there. we met up with Natalie and Sara Keller and Natalie's mom. 



This is Edik, you can donate to the Braithwaite family here: http://reecesrainbow.org/51441/sponsorbraithwaite





After the Zumbathon Natalie, her mom, Sara, Jason, Claudia and I all went to Bounce It Out.  It is a place for children that has several giant inflatable toys for the kids to play on.  We were not aware of all of the requirements before we went there and were sad to learn that parents cannot go on the inflatables with the children, so there was not a lot we could do with Claudia since she is still not walking.  None-the-less, there was a toddler inflatable that parents could go in, so we spent most of our time in there.  Claudia absolutely LOVED it!  She is fearless though and not aware of how she could possibly get hurt.  She threw herself from places high enough to hurt her if they were not inflatable.  Hopefully she does not try this at home now. We will definitely go back there when she is older, and when it is less crowded.  Sadly, I did not get any pictures of the girls together as they did not get to play much together.  Here are some pics and a video from today:

 

Fuzzy but I had to add this one in here, part of a series.  Here Claudia notices her Daddy through the mesh...

On a side note if anyone has any suggestions on how to get Claudia to stop pulling other children's hair, please let me know, it is very frustrating. She does not do it to be mean, but as soon as she sees a child's hair, boy or girl, she grabs a hold of it.

We adore Claudia and she is learning things at a very rapid rate right now, we are excited for her progress!
