Tea Time at Baby MacBean!

Today all the children got chef's hats made specially by Elle! Madison was inspired to have a tea party in the play room with the baby dolls, so the party was soon moved into the kitchen, where everyone got to wear their hats and enjoy all the yummy food :)

Elle played hostess to her excited guests!

Bounce House Boogie

Baby MacBean has a Bounce House for the day! The large inflatable jumper, with the air blower humming, can be a little...unfamiliar to the little ones. It took about an hour before all the children dared climb inside. But they finally did, with Madison boldly leading the way!

Pizza Party!

Baby MacBean hosted, with Miss Marla's Building Blocks Child Care, a pizza party at Pizza Pirate in Benicia. It was so much fun! All the children were pleasantly surprised to see their friends in a different setting. The parents had a chance to chat and get to know each other better, especially since some parents had never met since their children attend on different days of the week. We even had a few prospective parents come so they could meet all of us and ask questions and chat with other parents. We're so glad that everyone took the time to join us for a fun evening. We're planning several more parties for this summer - so get ready for more fun!

Here are some photos from the party:

Little Drummer Boy(s and girls!)

Baby MacBean took a fieldtrip a few months ago to the Sausalito Children's Museum

and the babies just loved playing these marimba drums! 

So, Claudia special ordered some from Kallisti Percussion just for Baby MacBean!

These new drums looks so bright and shiny! What beautiful instruments.

Ryan kept sticking his tongue out while playing. Must be a drummer thing. :)

 

Halloween Party

Parents and their little ghouls and goblins were invited to a children's Halloween party in Benicia last Tuesday (10/27). They had such a fun time seeing all the other kids dressed up in their costumes, playing games, decorating cookies and going through the Haunted Maze (not too scary, though!). So glad some of you could make it and can't wait until next Halloween!
