Baylee and I tend to spend the day inside, and then go out later when Ben gets home. We are still trying to find Ben a car, but with trying to buy a house we don't want another car payment on our credit report, which kinda limits our spending amount. We have money saved up, most of it will probably need to go towards our house. So, like I said, we are a little limited and so it's taking us a little longer. It hasn't been too big of a deal since I was pretty sick and didn't have a desire to leave the couch for a few months. Now I've been informed by my doctor's office that I have a low placenta, so I can't do any heavy lifting or carrying, anything strenuous, etc., because I am at high risk for bleeding. This makes things pretty hard with a two year old who climbs repeatedly on kitchen and bathroom counters all day, and loves to be picked up, carried and cuddled. She's also hit the terrible twos pretty bad, and we've found it's hard to take her anywhere now (anyone have any advice on this?). So, it's probably best I'm not taking her anywhere by myself for now. But, we have realized that she needs to be able to get out and run around and do something fun. I've been wanting to put her in a gymnastics class for quite awhile, but was waiting until I got a car. Then I wised up and realized I should look into night classes and Saturday classes. This ended up being a better solution for now anyways, since for her age they all seem to be Parent & Me classes. Last night Ben took her to her first class-and they both loved it! It was so cute to watch. She loved swinging on the bars, and especially loved jumping into the foam pit (aka the hole in the floor with the little pillows). She walked across the beam, jumped down the tumble track, and loved the big parachute they played with at the end. One of the best parts is that she actually seemed a little calmer and less cranky last night, and it's also supposed to help her listening skills. My mom asked Baylee if she was going to go back and do it again, and Baylee told her "Ummm....tomorrow!" I'm so excited for her to take gymnastics and have something she likes, and I love that it's something her and her daddy get to do together!
