Mommy Goose

Today Mommy and Declan joined Chelsey and her Mommy Daniella for a Mother Goose class. At the start of the class the leader told us all how the Mother Goose programs began. In the 1980's a woman noticed that many parents were placing their infants in front of the TV rather than spend time singing and playing with their little ones. Mother Goose aims to remind Mothers of the songs and games they had when they were young as well as teach new ones so Mommys are inspired. Then each Mommy introduced herself and her little one and stated their age. When I introduced Declan I said that he will be "four months this Thursday and I dot know why he's so big". The other Moms laughed and said they couldn't believe how big his was. For some perspective, he was the youngest baby there and only the 7 month old was bigger than Declan. The leader asked if Daddy was tall to which I responded "No". Declan really seemed to enjoy the overall experience. At the beginning he laid on the blanket and looked around at the other babies. He was particularly interested in the 7 month old girl named Brooklyn. She is a mover. After a short while she rolled her way right over to Declan. Her Mommy warned,"look out, she's a toy thief". Just then I watched her pull Monkey ever so slowly away from Declan. He didn't even fight it and luckily she lost interest and then rolled her way back to Mom. So the little man heard some new songs, we learned some new versus for old favorites, we learned some sign language and Declan danced...kind of. Near the end he had a little bottle, a couple burps and then he passed out on Mommy's shoulder just in time to call it a day and hit the road. My little social butterfly. I hope Mr. Personality never looses his charm.
