Golf Pro

A few new pictures to share with you tonight. Aiden is really digging using his new Golf Clubs to hit any ball he can find. We took his clubs and Daddy's wedge out in the back yard so that daddy could play too. Ultimately he just had to have daddy's golf club, and here are the pictures. Later grandpa came over and Aiden taught him how to golf.

We also got him to "wear" his drum and play that tonight. We'll see if the video of that will load up for us.

We had another weekly session of ZooBabes. This week we met a groundhog tortoise and a Scarlett Macaw. While I really thing this class is a good thing for Aiden to experience, it is sort of tough with a little boy of 21 months. The class is very structured, and the children are expected to sit still for the majority of the time. This doesn't work so well for the boys. For the most part the little girls are willing to sit and listen, but most of the boys (Aiden foremost amung them) want to be up and wandering around. I understand the need to have the children in the laps when the animals are out and amung the children, but when the animals aren't right there, letting the kids wander around and enjoy themselves shouldn't be a bad thing. While the instructors don't really say anything about it, you kind of get the sense that they want the kids to just stay right there with mommy or daddy. For us, I either have to let Aiden wander a little bit or he is going to start crying and squirming. So I let him wander a little bit, but close enough that I can grab him. It isn't ideal, but it is the best we can do. After 2 weeks, I am glad Aiden is getting this experience with the Animals, but I am not sure if we will sign up for another session next summer.

Anyhow, here are the photos!
