ECFE Class and Mommy's Project

 Wednesdays are one of Mommy and Summer's favorite days of the week.  Every Wednesday afternoon we've been enjoying going to the ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) Baby Playtime.  There are lots of moms and babies up to a year old and the area is all set up for moms to play with their babies!

This week Summer drove a plastic tub boat....
Played in the pool with plastic balls...



 Did some tummy time (to practice getting her neck muscles strong enough to crawl)...

 and we sang lots of fun songs during circle time such as "The wheels on the bus", the "Coo-coo clock song", the "eensie, weensie, spider" and "Pat-a-cake"!!!!  We had such a good time!

Meanwhile, mommy enjoyed working on a new project around the house.  After a garage sale, a neighbor put a bunch of stuff that didn't sell out on the curb for free.  One of those items was a "baby treadmill".  I have been wanting some sort of a walker for Summer because she has such strong legs and no opportunity to exercise them, so I picked it up.  It was VERY dirty and had really ugly 80's fabric and colors.  Here is a BEFORE picture of the treadmill and fabric....




I power sprayed the walker clean, and washed the cushion in the washer.  Then I recovered the seat in some fabric I had, and spray painted part of the treadmill with some paint I found in the basement from our house's previous owner.  It goes much better with our decor now.  Here are some after pictures.

She's so adorable, Kel! Did you get your hair cut? It looks really cute!

Kelly, once again you have done an outstanding job of giving a facelift to something that is old! I'm so proud of you. The baby treadmill is really sharp and I am sure Summer will love being able to exercise her legs. The ECFE room looks like a lot of fun. What a great opportunity for you and Summer to meet some other moms and babies.

Thanks All! Nope, Ali, my hair is just the "grown out" version of my spring/summer cut! But thanks!
