I have been awful about actually taking the boys out to do things because A) I didn't really know where to go and what to do and B) Taking 2 toddler boys for an outing was a little bit intimidating.
Thanks to one of my amazing neighbors for inviting me to a MOPS group and getting me out and meeting up with her other friend (and my other neighbor's sister...it's a small world :)). I have decided that this summer I really want to try to get out more and take M out more, because come September, taking care of 3 kids, one being an infant, it's going to be really hard to get out much. Not too mention trying to stay in during flu season with an infant!
So this morning I got a text message inviting us to go to the park. Now I am off from babysitting T for the month, so I texted my sister and asked if she and T would like to join us and I would go pick them up. So we had a nice morning playing at the park and then we were invited to go to story time at the library by our house. So my sister and I picked up a quick lunch and ate and then took the boys to their first story time. They did so good! Both boys sat through the whole story and then sat and colored at the table! I think it helped that we went spent the morning at the park so they had gotten lots of energy out running around and it helped them to have the other kids they knew so they could follow their example since the other kids were experienced story-time goers.
I was so proud of them, and so glad to get that first experience out of the way! Now I think I will definitely be taking them back regularly!
Unfortunately I didn't think about taking my camera...so no pictures today.
