Anna & I have joined two new activities in the past month - a new playgroup and a music class. We've been having a great time at both! We have a second playgroup that we've been going to for a while. We like that one too, but it's hard to attend because it falls right in the middle of Anna's morning nap. Our new playgroup is great. First because we've met a lot of nice people and second because all the babies are about Anna's age - between 9 and 15 months. This is great for Anna and it's good because the other babies nap about when Anna naps. Our music class has been great too. There are two other babies Anna's age (one of which is also in our new playgroup) and 6 or 7 other 2 and 3 year olds. Anna really seems to like the class. She is mezmarized by the instructor. She often will crawl up to her and just stair at her singing or playing the guitar. We have a CD of the songs that we sing in class and Anna has taken to dancing a little when we play her favorite ones. She also enjoys instrument time, where she gets to bang on the drum and shake different objects that make noise.
Between both of these classes plus some extra playdates with other moms and babies, I really feel like Anna has become more comfortable around other people. This week at playgroup everyone was hanging out in two different rooms and Anna kept crawling to the opposite room from me. I would then go follow her and she would ditch me again. I was so happy that she was able to explore and look around without continually wondering where I was!
