Easter Party

Here at Baby MacBean we were delighted to see everyone that was able to come to the Easter party on Saturday. It was so great to have an exciting egg hunt, food, and meet and see the live bunnies and ducks :) It was such a blast for us to see all the children with their families and friends, and there were lots of fun pictures from the party, so please enjoy the slideshow below!

Art and Sunshine

This week at Baby MacBean we got to take advantage of the beautiful January sunshine here in Benicia, which all of the babies loved! They got to play on the outside toys and it was even nice enough to use the art board and paint with the new spray paint bottles.

Everyone was having a fun time going in and out of the house.

Even though it was nice outside, the sit and spins were also popular.

Everyone at Baby MacBean loves the slides!

And just because it was nice outside, didn't mean that there couldn't be just a little snow somewhere.

Slip-N-Slide

It's officially summer! That means it's time for the slipperiest fun of all: the Slip-N-Slide! Ryan was by far the most adventurous of the bunch. He just couldn't get enough of the water fun. Shay enjoyed the water...from across the yard! That was close enough for him. He would come cautiously close, then run back. It was so cute! 

 Ryan and Shay decided to form a band together while everyone else was changing back into their clothes. They're called "The Swim Diapers"!

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!

Moving and Grooving!

 Today seemed to be all about movement - moving our bodies and streching our vocal cords!

We started with an outing in the stroller. All bundled up, they loved seeing the neighborhood and hearing dogs bark and birds chirp.

 When we returned the kids wanted to act like birds themselves.

They started "chirping" and yelping as well. They were like little songbirds in the backyard.

All that yelling made them awfully thirsty. Joey and Madison both signed they wanted water, after they finished their milk.

I gave them each a cup with a little water and was pleased to see they didn't spill a drop!

After lunch, what could be better than running in circles yelling?

How about bouncing and yelling!! :)

 

Not to be outdone, Shay added his two cents to the mix.  

Ryan was still sleeping.

Even though the windows were open in his room, he slept through all the "singing."

We practiced our hopping skills next. Joey is getting quite good!

Even Shay was trying is hardest to hop. :)

 Ryan finally woke up and joined his friends.

He showed them a thing or two about chirping at dinner time. :)
