Monkey Music is a music session for babies ages 12weeks and up. It's based on baby learning through music, song and sensory. All sounds very cringe and I thought it may well be but hey! What you do for your kids! Henry loves music at home, I'm always singing (badly) the radios always on when we have our brekkie and James is always playing his guitar. Henry especially loves his maracas which he's always shaking :) and strumming on his guitar, so I thought perfect! It was also a free trial session so I couldn't say no to free! :)
It was a small class of about 6mums and 2 nans had come along. Its about 25mins worth of a lady singing songs with her monkey cuddly toy using different instruments. She hands out baby size instruments and we all do certain movements like clapping and banging, lifting baby in the air etc it really was good fun! At the end we waved this colourful piece of material over the babes as they lay there in a circle and they loved it! The teacher also blew bubbles which I think I enjoyed more than Henry! :) all in all it was much better than I thought and I took great delight in seeing Henry smiling away all throughout and being the bounciest baby there with plenty of compliments from the other mums and the teacher! (That's my boy :)
So I'm sold I'm signing up for the term- 13 classes and £100 down! Boom! All because of some hippy lady and her cuddly monkey!
After Monkey Music we got home in time for lunch and for James to come back after his long hard day at work! After James made up Henry's 1st korma curry we went for a walk to the local park behind the library in Bromley. It was Henry's first time on everything and although I think he enjoyed some of it, he was much more Interested in watching all the other kids! He's so nosey!
After out little trip we got home for Henry to try out his curry. He lapped it up and loved every bit! We think William will be proud of him.
And then after his bath while I was getting him into his pj's he let out a ripper of a burp a nice garlic curry smell of one right into my face! Delightful.
So a few firsts today- Monkey music, a trip to the park on the swings and a curry!
Tomorrow we are off for Baby bounce and rhythm! The free baby music session in the local library! Yipppeeee :)!
Another lovely day with my babes :) x
