Baby Gymnastics and Backpack

I signed Meredith up for a baby gymnastics class. It was offered by the city recreation department for a decent price and I figured it would be something fun for Meredith to do. There seems to be a bit of a shortage of things for toddlers to do in this town. In fact, a friend and I have decided to do some music classes starting in the winter. The Parks and Recreation people are eager for more things for the kids to do and have facilities they will let us use for free. So, we're going to try a couple of toddler and preschool classes. A fun way to make some money and to provide a service for the moms in the community. We're still in the planning stages, but I'm really looking forward to it! I know Meredith will love it, too. Boy does she love her gymnastics class! Her teacher's name is Miss Ally and Meredith loves her too. Here's a few pictures from her class today. The vault is Meredith's favorite...she loves bouncing on the springboard.








Yesterday, while I was out to dinner with some girlfriends, Court took Meredith to the mall to walk around. They came across this backpack. Meredith is a huge Dora fan and Court couldn't help but buy the backpack for her. Now she wears it around where ever she goes. And when she's hungry or thirsty or tired or whatever, so is Backpack. Earlier I told Meredith she needed her squishy diaper changed and she said, "Backpack has a squishy diaper too!"

Chick Fil A Daddy Daughter Date Night

This is the follow up picture from Janelle's Post. Meredith and I had a blast. They had the area sectioned off with table cloths and candlelight. We got a picture with the cow. Great idea Chick-Fil-A :)

Here's a few fun pictures of Meredith taken this past week:

On Saturday we took Meredith to the
Texas State Forest Festival.
She got to ride a real pony, a fake pony and the Ferris wheel. Her favorite thing was the petting zoo, where she was actually brave enough to feed some goats. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take any pictures. We had fun at the festival for the first little while, but then Meredith got tired and wasn't happy with anything we tried to do. So we ended up taking her home and putting her to bed.

Riding a pony. She loved it for the first minute and then was ready to get down.

Riding a fake pony...
The carousel and the Ferris wheel were the only rides she could go on.


The other day we were at the Family Dollar and found some $5 Disney Princess outfits. So we bought Meredith a couple. Nothing fancy, but she sure has had fun playing dress up.

Checking herself out in the mirror.

In her little kitchen. She absolutely refused to look at the camera.
So this is the best I could get.

She particularly likes the costume jewelry.

These were taken just tonight. The Chick-Fil-A at the mall had a "Daddy Daughter Date Night" complete with a candlelight dinner and a visit from the Chick-Fil-A cow. Court and Meredith are there as I type this. Hopefully having fun. I prettied Meredith up for her special date with daddy. She is getting so big!

Stevie Wonder Eat Your Heart Out

I was "watching" Meredith this morning as Janelle was getting ready for church. I was at the computer working on my homework and Meredith was at the kitchen table and broke into song. I grabbed my phone and here is what I caught:

I Love Ya, Tomorrow!

Meredith loves to sing. Lately she has been singing the song "Tomorrow" from the movie "Annie". It's so cute to hear her in her room singing it from the top of her lungs. LOL. Last night she started singing it at the dinner table. I probably should have told her not to sing at the dinner table, but instead I grabbed the camera and started recording it! Here's the video...(ignore my horrible singing at the end!) ;)
