Play and Learn

For building week I brought out three sets of stacking cups, some heavy duty plastic drinking cups, wooden blocks, and plastic blocks.

We recently got a set of O balls that the babies are enjoying.

The moms have really been enjoying talking to each other during the play and learn portion.  I have one in particular to who kind of the "glue" of the group.  One week she wasn't there and it ended up being a kind of quiet group that day.
