Playing Around

Recently we bought Karsten a play mat and he absolutely loves it. After one day he started grabbing, hitting, and kicking all of the little toys on the bars. Plus he was feeling all of the materials on the mat. We have also seen him get so incredibly excited as he plays on this mat, kicks to make the music come on, pulls toys that jiggle, and puts things in his mouth (okay not too thrilled about this but hey I know it is normal). I think out of all the different things I have bought, this is what Karsten likes the most thus far.

Today we also went to an event called Wee Witches with a friend, and her kids. Wee Witches is a Halloween-ish event that takes place at a little shopping village with these ultra cute boutiques. There are “witches” all over the place live, in decorations, etc. The village even does hay rides to witch houses that are in a field near the village. The kids also have a kid’s parade, which is super cute. After visiting the boutiques I definitely want to go back and if anyone comes to visit I have added this to my must go to list…so please make the request to go to Gardener Village if you come up for a visit. When we went I dressed Karsten up as a pirate, in a little outfit we already had since I don’t have his Halloween costume yet. It was a bit cold today, all of about 55 degrees, so he looks a little confused and out of it in the pictures…they had loud music on which he found a bit distracting and it was chilly and I had just taken his jacket off before we took pictures.
