Playaway Comes To A Close

With Jacob's Playaway programs coming to a close, I thought I would drag the camera along and get some pictures. Jacob really enjoyed playing with other kids his age (within a few months) even if sometimes he was fighting over the fire truck with Jack.

I normally don't do this, but I couldn't narrow down the pictures I took for the blog. So, I have decided to overwhelm you with them on the front page... ;)!

Jacob had his favorite toys that he played with every time they were out. The toys and equipment were changed up for each day, but the fire truck, tractor and a knitted doggie were his favorites for sure. Jacob could be sitting doing a craft or a puzzle and once he heard the siren of the fire truck, he was off to see who had it.

Jacob enjoyed giving the doggie a ride in the wagon. I think it was more of a safeway for his favorites because those were the only ones that seemed to make it to the wagon...

Here's Jacob practicing his culinary cutting skills. Needless to say, the only knife was being used by some one else. We decided to improvise and were still able to make those precision cuts without getting our fingers.

On occasion, the fish would be something to ride on. He enjoyed just sitting on it, but didn't generally get it to rock. However, there was another girl that just about got it to roll down the street... Heehee!

Oops! Didn't take this one fast enough as he was getting off the train that dadda put together. Guess he figured I wasn't going to keep pulling the train forever... He was right ;)!

Although Jacob loves the bigger slides at the park (freaks mommy out because he doesn't have much danger radar yet), he still loves the smaller slide. There are stairs and a steering wheel that he enjoys playing on.

Although getting stamps were at the end of Playaway class or drop-in, Jacob found some number sticks that looked like the stamps and tried doing his own. This program was great as Jacob learned to share, was exposed to other kids close to his age and was able to play and sing. Unfortunately, there won't be a summer program, but we are hoping that we can take part in the fall. There is a chance that they will have more classes to choose from for kids under 3 and might have evening options as well. We are looking forward to hopefully being able to get Jacob into an evening music class. One more class day on Monday and then we will be heading to the zoo more often...
