Playgroup and boo-boos

I'm very late on updating this but I said I'd post an update about Lily after we went to playgroup thursday night, so here it is :-)

Because Lily is in Early Head Start they have playgroups to help socialize the kids two times a month.  The first one is always a friday morning and we have trouble getting to that one because it starts at 10am and Lily doesn't usually get up and finish eating breakfast until close to that time so we usually skip that one.  The other one is Thursday evenings, we try to attend this one as much as possible.

It was nice this was the first playgroup that Andy was able to attend in a LONG time.  He has had so many night classes since he started nursing school that unless playgroup fell on a break or a day off he wasn't able to attend.  It was nice to be able to attend with Andy with me!

So the theme for playgroup thursday was ball-play. Anyone who knows Lily knows she LOVES balls. So as soon as we walked into the gym she went nuts and was in heaven playing with the balls.  She had fun throwing them, kicking them, chasing them etc.

After a little bit of free play we got in circle and we sang a few songs, its always funny during this time because Lily always stands there and looks around like "what in the heck are these people singing" but then at the end of each song she claps and says yay.  Its funny.

After we ate dinner they had more free-play in one of the classrooms and then we went back into the gym for more ball-play.  This is where the "boo-boo" came into play.  Lily was having a great time chasing the balls around with a few other kids and then she decided to climb into the playhouse that was sitting there.  There were steps to go up to the little club house and she started up the steps but there was a boy coming down the steps.  She freaked out and kept saying "mommy a boy! a boy!" and she started to back up down the steps.. ya put two and two together she fell backwards off the steps.  Luckily it was only from the first step up, but she fell back on her head and there were tears and lots of asking for lollipops and people freaking out wanting to make sure she was ok.  I kept telling everyone she was fine, my rule is if she is asking for a lollipop and it takes her more than 10 seconds after the initial boo-boo to cry she is probably fine! 

So they wrote out a little accident report that we had to sign, we went home at the normal time and Lily had to have her lollipop and everything was totally fine.
