A Trip to the Bowling Alley!

Memorial day finally brought a day to veg out and spend time with the family. We decided that I would take Jayden out and Stacey would stay home with little Zeke. Initially I was going to take Jayden to play some miniature golf. However, the weather was a little uncertain. After consulting with a buddy of mine we opted to go bowling!

In Fulton, MO there is a no smoking bowling alley. In addition they are very family oriented. I didn't even think they would have a kids size 10 shoe much less a 6 pound ball... but they did! We had a great time, and not just bowling. It was interesting that Jayden had just as much or even more fun shooting the guns on the video games (without inserting coins of course)!

Sibling(s) class


we met the class at Capital Region Medical Center at 5:45pm. The teacher turned out to be one of the nurses that had helped deliver Zeke. It was fun to see her again- she also had one of her daughters with her. Chris thought he recognized her and asked her...she had been a student in some of the PE classes he had subbed for in New Bloomfield and she remembered him too. She said it was because he is so tall and has a name she'd never heard before! ;)

First item of business was to introduce everyone and get name tags situated.

Then we got right down to the task at hand...both boys got to
diaper their bears and wrap it in a swaddle.




Then nurse Lori had each big sibling make a birthday card for new
baby. During coloring, we got to snack on milk and rice krispy treats. Then dress up time with masks and head thingys. Neither boy kept his on very long, but they atleast tolerated a photo.

During story time, Nurse Lori read a book titled "Baby on the way". seemed appropriate.

Finally we took a tour of a labor/deliver/recovery room. We "happened" to be right next to a new momma who doubled as a nurse. She offered to show off her new little girl to the siblings class. Zeke was pretty somber most of the class, and when he saw the new baby, Jayden got really serious too.

All in all the boys did so great. They listened and participated just the right amount for a 3 and 2 year old.
