Thursday at Kirkby Methodist

Thursday mornings we try our best to go to Kirkby Lonsdale as their toddler group is just fantastic. This week, they were talking about body parts. fingers. As well, they brought in baby chicks. Ethan was so excited to see it that he followed the teacher around until she showed him. Then as she lowered her hands down, rather than stroke it. Ethan grabbed the baby chick's head in his hand. WOOPS! Hahahaahahaahaha! I'm not sure if he realized if it was real or not but as a friend pointed out to me, he thought it was too cute to pass up and maybe wanted it for himself? Then we sang some songs and played instruments to songs. Then the kids had snacks and us mommies had great cake and coffee/tea. They had a craft going on which linked both themes as it was a pencil crayon outline of a baby chick and the kids finger painted the outline and sprinkled glitter. He did a good job of finger painting (With help from mommy) , smeared a bit of paint on his shirt and tee before I caught him and we washed our hands and left the glitter sprinkling to me as he ran off to play. Another highlight was when Ethan found the dress up high heeled shoes. Purple with a shiny bow and put both of them on and walked around in them for 5 minutes. (Boy was I bummed to find out I had left the camera in the car!) We got home and had a good lunch and it was off to Heather's house in Ingleton to get Adam's hair cut and Ethan's tidied up. Ethan fell asleep just as we pulled into the driveway but was a great sport even putting his head down and sitting still. Heather said that I had done a pretty good job! It just needed some touching up. What a compliment! Afterwards, it was back home for a good nap and when Ethan woke it was dinner, a bit of a play a bath and back to bed. Great day!
