Hot, Hot, Hot

Not much of a break from the heat wave, a few days of mid 80's and then right back to the high 90's with today's temp topping out at 101. Needless to say we've been spending most of our time indoors. We did take advantage of the "cool" weather though when Da got home from Canada and we went to the park. Alex had a blast, lots of slides and swings and a little clubhouse, plus lots of water to play in. Tuesday we tried Storytime again and she listened a little better this time and danced to most of the songs. Wednesday Da got off work a little early and joined us at Gymboree. Her new favorite thing is the monkey bars, she can hang on really long. She had all the kids wanting to try. Friday we went to Art class at Gymboree. Alex didnt find it very exciting, the projecting was a construction paper robot which consisted of glueing 8 precut squares onto a piece of paper and one black marker to draw a face, not real stimulating. Then the rest of class time was spent playing with shovels in a table full of pasta, didnt real see how that related to art and neither did Alex. She kept giving me a look like "I don't get it". Later, sinceit was too hot to play outside, we went up to the mall so she could play around with other kids. She liked riding the safari jeep the best. She use to be afraid of the rides if you started them, but now she likes them. Saturday it was back to Gymboree for music class which was full of really loud, really active boys. She really wasnt into it at all. Sunday we did some work around the house. Monday it was back to Gymboree for playtime. She's been a busy little girl.
