The Gymnastics Express

Yesterday morning Kylee and I joined up with some mamas and kiddos from our playdate group.  We met up to let the kids play on The Gymnastics Express! 


"The Gymnastics Express is a gymnastics facility - on wheels! Perfect for today's busy parent, we bring The Gymnastics Express right to your child's preschool or daycare center, and teach them our innovative gymnastics curriculum right on our customized bus!" 

If you've got kids and they've got energy ... you can't go wrong with this bus o' fun!  If you're in the area I highly recommend getting in contact and finding out how your kids can get their jump and tumble on!


(Jack is going for the gold in tumbling!)


Now I feel like I must say that 18 months+  were allowed to play on the bus yesterday.  Kylee won't be 18 months for 12 more days.. but I figured she was close enough.  (There were another babes around her age there as well.)  In my personal opinion I think 18 months may be a little too young for The Gymnastics Express.  Kylee did not want to sit and sing songs in the beginning.  She was much too distracted by all the fun tumbling equipment.  She cried. And cried. And cried until I came and held her and then she watched the other kids singing.  Once it was time to play on the equipment though she was ALL about it.  A few other kids that were her age also cried and didn't want to stay on the bus long.  So I would recommend this for ages 2 and older. ( I am really glad Kylee got to experience this though and when it was time to play she DID have a great time!)

So if you're in the area and looking for a way to entertain your kids this summer or any other time of the year, get in contact with staff at The Gymnastics Express. You'll be able to put together the best playdate ever!  Best of all? The bus comes to you!

Box Baby

My daughter LOVES boxes.  Boxes of all shapes and sizes.  Big boxes. Little boxes. Square boxes. Rectangle boxes.  So when we got her new car seat OF COURSE she needed the box.  She's been playing in it for weeks.  Yesterday we got her a pretty pink potty chair and OF COURSE she needed the box.  The car seat box has just been sitting in our living/dining area looking so bland and boring.  So, my mission this weekend was to spice it up!  And spice it up I did. I covered the box in white paper ALL over and made a few "windows" and then me and Kylee drew pictures everywhere!  To finish it off I sealed our precious drawings in with packaging tape.  This was done with the idea that it would keep our beautiful project looking beautiful longer... and Kylee couldn't rip the papers off!  Win-Win!    Her potty chair box we just cut a hole in so she could see out and she walks around with it on her head laughing and giggling.  


Silly girl playing in the potty chair box!

I love watching her play in her boxes.  She takes her stuffed animals in there, she reads books in there, she feeds her baby dolls in there, and sometimes she takes her snacks in there.  It's so amazing to watch her little mind grow and develop.  She's becoming so creative and has such a wonderful imagination.
