The Monkey Room

There is a great place here called the Monkey Room. Inside is a whole big play area to climb through and slide down and jump around. The first time we went here was really before Chance was walking and I was overwhelmed by all the action around him so we had not gone back for a while. Well, today we had a playdate there so off we went. Chance loved it, he is holding his own now and off he went. This first picture is one of the ways in to the big play area, I thought for sure when he got to the top he would turn around to look for me or come back down but I was wrong. After he got to the top he turned the corner and disappeared for a few minutes. I kept listening and watching waiting to see or hear him and then down the slide he came and right back around to climb back up and doing it all over again. He played and played and played and I tried not to watch. He was just fine the whole time he did not get hurt and he was very polite with all the other children taking turns and everything. Parents are allowed to go in every thing too and a few times Chance came out, took my hand and drug me through the play area with him, which to be perfectly honest was a lot of fun. Now that Chance is able to climb and everything I think we will go back more often.

He is getting more words too. Today he said "more" when he wanted more bran flakes. Yeah, yhou read me right, he was eating just the dry flakes from a box of Raisin Bran and he wanted more.
Picture 1 - There he goes all by himself, Picture 2 - That is him climbing int he same area as the first picture but from the side, Picture 3 - That's him up in the tunnel not paying any attention to me at all, Picture 4 - Here he is crossing the bridge, Picture 5 - now you can see why I tried not to watch that is him the little speck way up on the bridge it is perfectly safe everything is enclosed so he can not fall out but it still takes some getting used to, Picture 6 - This is Chance and Sophia one of the girls in our playgroup. Her Mom was babysitting another little boy today who is too young to go through this area so I went through with Sophia and Chance. In the last two pictures we are all actually inside the play area, Picture 7 - This is what the bridge looks like from the inside, Chance looks funny because he is trying to stand up even though he is too tall to stand up in there.
