We're Back

Two days after our first visit to Cornbelly's, Claire and I headed back to have what we call "Mommy-Claire time". She was so excited to go back to what had become her favorite place and to have special Mommy time. The first thing she did when we got there was run over to the jumpy thing. Just like before, she loved every second of it and got upset when our group had to get off and give the other people a turn.

 
Claire intuitively knew we were having "girl time" and wanted to put my lip gloss on every five seconds. This girl is obsessed with lip gloss and I've since had to make a no lip gloss in public rule. She's recently become excited about more girly things like makeup, dress up, and dolls.

 

 
Once her lip gloss was on, she ran over to the pumpkin princess play land to play dress up and dance around on the make shift stage. This time around there was a balloon maker nearby so she asked him for a princess crown. Too cute!

 

 
Claire finally grew tired of all of the girly stuff and wanted to enjoy the other activities. We went on the cow train ride three times, ran through a few feet of the corn maze, went down slides, and posed for pictures. As our Mommy-Claire time was drawing to an end, she wanted to ride on a tricycle that she saw earlier. Claire's bike at home is a balance bike so she hasn't had much (if any) experience with pedals. The ground was bumpy and the pedals were slightly far away, but she managed to make it around the circle. She (and I) was so proud of herself.

We are really looking forward to Halloween next year and are definitely heading back to our new favorite place: Cornbelly's!
