I decided it would be fun to celebrate Jackson’s half-birthdays with a little mini-celebration. So here’s what Jackson did on his 1-and-a-half day!
Gymboree Art Class
Lynn & I took Jackson to his first art class at Gymboree. The theme of the class was centered on the ocean. First they opened the class with some painting on paper taped to a wall. This was sheer terror for me the entire time. One – because Jackson likes to throw his paintbrush. Two – because I was in work clothes, Jackson wasn’t in “art” clothes, and all the pretty little girls who barely moved were in pretty-little-girl clothes. Luckily, he didn’t manage to paint any little girls, and I managed to not have a panic attack :) Here’s his part of the painting----
Later they sat in a circle and had trays to paint on and experiment with glue, glitter, paint, and the like. Jackson managed to pour glitter all over his leg :) They also played with sea shells and building blocks.
Chick Fil A Dinner
I took Jackson to Chick Fil A for dinner as a special treat, and then let him play to his heart’s content. He was ecstatic playing in the toddler area, but kept venturing up the twisty slide just a little bit, and then sliding down. At one point, he climbed around the bend, and then I couldn’t see him anymore, and he had climbed all the way up! So I had to go on a rescue mission and get him… we had fun sliding back down together!


Cupcakes!
We finished out the day with having some cupcakes – yum!
