First day of "school"...

Maya had her first day of Toddler Group today!  It's a parent co-op program that's one day a week for 2 hours.  It's a great time for Maya to learn and explore through a variety of play based activities including sensory tables, puzzles and toys, art projects, singing, reading, circle time, group snack and outdoor play.
   We had a great first day!  Here are some pics (unfortunately the camera on my phone is terrible!)

At the ball pit...her favorite!  She kept coming back to it!

She also loved the colored rice sensory table...unfortunately, we weren't so good at actually keeping the rice in the table...

Snack time was my favorite part.  The kids all sat together on mini chairs at a mini table and had there snack of apple sauce and string cheese.  They were also given little paper cups to drink their water!  They encourage learning, so no sippy cups allowed!  It was so cute to see them all at snack...they looked like such big kids.  Maya actually did great with her cup...she's had some practice at home, but this time I didn't help her and she did awesome!

Getting her stamp at the end of class...

 The day ended with outdoor play...Maya loved this little house and wasn't interested in going anywhere else...

I was so inspired by our successful snack time, I decided to set up her travel chair at the table for lunch...such a big girl!




And I had to document the drinking from a cup success!

I'm a proud mama :)
