A new play room

Sorry for any grammatical errors you will have to endure with today's post. It is already bed time here and Alyssa is fast asleep, but I knew that many of you would not be happy to wake without new pictures, so here it goes.

Today we went for an afternoon visit. We arrived right after nap time and the afternoon snack. We got to play in a different play room today which was a welcome change. This room was bigger and had lots of fun slides and other toys. It has colorful murals on the wall and you can tell this is a happy place.

 

We introduced a few new toys and let Little Man spend a little time with the iPad today. His favorite is still carrying around Alyssa's iPhone while it plays music (he will have to have his own iPod Touch when we get him home I'm sure). You will see him with the iPhone in almost every picture. Today we listened to a variety of pop hits and folk songs. He also continues to enjoy a Fisher Price toy that Grand Mary sent along. It plays different songs that he likes to dance to.

He also enjoyed a squishy green air ball today for a while. Nothing is exciting for that long when you are three though.

We also brought along a play tool belt with fun tools. The hammer makes some great sound as you move it back and forth and hit it on a surface. You'll also notice that while not holding tools the belt became an acceptable place to carry the iPhone so that Little Man always had his tunes with him. 

  

  

There are a variety of slides in the room that we got to enjoy today. Little Man seems to enjoy taking the head first route down the slide most often.

There are also slides into a small ball area that Little Man enjoyed for a few minutes. It was a big room though so we had to keep moving so we wouldn't miss anything.

We also had a good time behind the exercise bars. There proved to be just enough room for Little Man to slide back and fourth between the wall and the bars.

We also spent a little more time with our picture book today, he really likes to be in charge of the book and turning the pages.

Tomorrow will be our last visit for this trip. Please ask God to prepare our and Little Man's hearts for this. I know that saying goodbye tomorrow will probably be tearful for us, but most importantly we want Little Man to remember that we will be back for him very soon!
