This year, in addition to the family birthday parties and Skype sessions, we decided to have a small party for Owen and some of his friends at the Little Gym. We had a few kids from Owen's day care, one of our neighbors, the Chandrapal girls, and Aiden join us. The kids were SO cute together. The party is structured for parents to be included and to be there to help their kids with the different activities. We spent most of the party in the gym- enjoying a mix of free time and organized time with a couple of moments focused on Owen - where we all sang to Owen for his birthday. The kids had the chance to tumble, run around, and play on the various gym equipment and also participate in the "organized" activities such as a bounce track, parachute game, ball time (imagine a dozen kids chasing, kicking, stumbling over, throwing, running with, and falling over two dozen different size bouncy balls) and of course, a toddler favorite- bubble time. After gym time, we moved to the party room for some cupcakes and brownies. All the kids seemed to have a really fun time, and there is no doubt in our minds that Owen loved every minute of it. It was a very special day.
We ended up with great photos of all the kids, but we've only posted a couple shots of some of the other kids since we're not sure if all the parents are in favor of internet photo posts. We did include a couple blurry shots/back shots so you could see some of the activities!
