Monkeyin' Around

Today for playgroup we went to a new place here called Monkey Joe's. It is full of inflatables, but the great thing is that it has some that are very toddler friendly!

When we first arrived we climbed up to the top of a super speedy slide. E was very unsure of it at first. Lots of little whines to let me know she was not sure about it. Mommy wasn't 100% sure of it! (I am not the adventurous one in the family, that is for sure!) We then went into another bounce thing that was much smaller. It had a small area just to bounce in, then a very small slide. So we got in there (have I told you how hard it is to climb into a bouncer that is 3 feet off the ground when the ground is moving AND you are carrying around a 19 lb child??) and I put her down. She grabbed my neck and just whined. So, quickly, down the slide we went. We took a small break from the action and then we went for it again. We climbed into one that was just big and round. She laid down in there and I bounced her around like I do when she is lying on our bed. She would just giggle. Finally, she got brave and tried to stand up, and when she got up, she took off! She was loving it! She would stand up, immediately fall over, and then she would just laugh! I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at her! I am so glad she was able to overcome her fears!
Enjoy the show!
