Play Time

This week was a busy one as usual. Last weekend, we turned our guest bedroom into a play room for Ashlyn. Her toys are getting too large and numerous to contain them in the living room anymore. Ashlyn just loves her play room. She loves going in there and getting into everything. I will have to take a picture and post it. Every night, Joey, Ashlyn and I all go up there and play for a bit. She amazed us the other night by putting a puzzle together. It is a very simple 3 piece puzzle of animals. She was actually able to place the animal pieces in the correct spots. She is really getting into baby dolls. Last night, she was carrying one around saying "baby" over and over. She got a doll cradle for Christmas and she enjoys putting her doll to bed.

Ashlyn has also learned to point to her belly and nose when you ask where they are at. We are going to work on other body parts. She just loves pointing to her belly. I might try and get a video of it to post. Other than that, this week was pretty normal. The work week was too long and the weekend was too short!

When Adam was in town, our friends Chris and Sara came over to visit. There daughter Haiden is 2 1/2. Ashlyn got to play with her for a little bit. They had a good time together. I am posting pictures of them playing.

Also, I had my Mom bring my camera to this week's Fun Fit class. Since I never get to go, I wanted to get an idea of what it is like. I am in the process of signing Ashlyn up for some new classes. We are going to do swimming lessons again next month. Those will be every Wednesday night. I am also going to get her into a gymnastics like class. That class will be every Saturday. I hope these classes will give her some more social interaction with other kids.
She just loves trying new things!
