Our Favorite Playgroup

Twice a week, the twins and I attend a very fun play group put on by Ontario Early Years. It's a free program sponsored by the government and a great way to spend our tax dollars.We take advantage of several other programs, but this one is our favorite by far.

This ball makes Pea incredibly happy. It's a popular ball among the kids, so he was lucky to have a chance to play with it this morning.

Chick loves to climb this thing. She extends her hands for me to help her down the second half of the rungs. I love that her little tongue is out and to the side in this picture.

Chick and Pea were the only children to go down the slide on their tummies. A little skill they picked up from their slide at home.

Chick was so happy to play with this basketball.

Pea stood under this basketball net holding a basketball for the longest time.  It was so cute. I eventually went over and hoisted him into the air so that he could dunk the ball.  He was so proud.

Chick and Pea's little friend Jack is in the background. He is adorable and I really like his mom. That's saying a lot. I don't like people.

Pea used to be petrified of the ball pit. Honestly, who wouldn't be? It's likely completely germ-infested. He's come a long way.

A Canadian play group wouldn't be complete without hockey sticks. I hope he doesn't get any ideas. This boy will not be playing hockey on our watch.

Perhaps my favorite picture of the morning. Chick, much like her mom, sometimes gets overwhelmed by crowds and noise. I catch her, at times, finding a quiet spot to sit and take a breath before charging back out again. She sat here for a good while this morning watching the other children play.
