Gym Class and a Quick Visit with Friends

"Hi, hi, how do you do?  Welcome to My Gym!  We're here for fun and some games, now it's time to begin!"  That's how Alexander's gym class starts off each Wednesday.  We've been going to My Gym in Newton since the beginning of July and Alexander has thoroughly enjoyed it!  He loves climbing the various structures, going down the slides, jumping into the ball pit, and completing the various activities that his teachers have set up.  Here's a little video of Alexander in his class:

After Alexander went to class, we ran a few errands together, had lunch, and then we both took a nap.  After a quick, 45 minute nap, Alexander and I met up with our friend Ai-ris (a fellow medical student of Joseph's and former drinking buddy and current mommy buddy of mine) and her daughter Yoshimi.  Here's the results of our little rendezvous:

Yoshimi checking out Alexander's Thomas book.

Ai-ris and Yoshimi chilling and reading Alexander's other
Thomas book that I always have in my purse.  I swear I have
everything but the kitchen sink in there.

Little friends noshing on some pretzel sticks.

Sharing their snacks...so cute!!

Alexander hasn't quite figured out how to use his teeth to tear,
so he just ends up shoving everything into his mouth.  Yoshimi
was a bit more dainty. :)

It was so nice to see Ai-ris and Yoshimi, although the visit was so quick.  I hope that we can continue seeing each other and watching our children grow up together as time goes on.  Until next time...

Love and kisses,
Nikki
