We are involved in a wonderful program called Parents as Teachers. For everyone who doesn't know what that is, it is a service provided by the public school system for parents and children. They provide home visits to help parents with any issues they are having and they offer great advice and provide free assessments, they als0 do awesome events and playgroups. It is all local and free, which is so great. In the past few weeks we have attended 2 playgroups and an apple picking event. Abby had so much fun playing with the other children and met a new friend named Isabelle. Isabelle's mom tells me that she talks about Abby all of the time. They are very cute interacting with eachother. I see her little personality blooming more and more each day. What a big girl she is becoming!
She loved pushing around the little pink tea cart.
She really got into playing with the little toy cars and trucks. She kept moving them and saying "Vroom Vroom."
Here she is pushing around some toys in a shopping cart. She was having so much fun with this toy, and she turned her back to pick up another toy, and a little boy took it from her. The look on her face was so sad. Thankfully the little boy walked away from it a few minutes later, and we got it back. :)
We went apple picking at a place in Marthasville, MO called Apple Junction. It was a really neat place, with a tractor ride, a big slide, goats, and a big sandbox. Here is Abby on a mission to go see the goats.
I could tell that she wanted so bad to walk over to the fence, but she still had some doubts about it.
We took a tractor ride out to the orchard. She was unsure at first, but then really loved it.
Picking up the apples from the ground was so much fun! We got a lot of great ones to bring home. She did pull a few off of the tree, but unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of it. My camera battery died. We will definitely be doing this again next year. It was so much fun!
