Day for Kids

Today the youth center on base hosted The Day For Kids event. April is the month of the military child, and they do this every year. There is face painting, games, bouncy houses, food, etc.  And Sparky and McGruff, which Emma is apparently still deathly afraid of. She did great at first, played on an obstacle course bouncy house for a while. Then we walked around and for a little too close to McGruff. She literally was crying and screaming and begging to leave, but still wanted a snow cone. I'm sure it looked like she was having a fit, but she was really just very scared. We ended up finding the quiet/sensory play room inside where we spent the next hour quietly playing. Afterwards she was ready to go back out with her new friend, and Sparky and McGruff had left. We are very, very tired and hopefully we sleep good tonight.

Well, sort of.

In.

Over.

Through.

Out

Up

Down!

She did this like 30 times. Normally she doesn't like these, but tonight she loved it.

They also had a big dinosaur one.

In the sensory room. She made her name with play dough.

Kinetic sand & real sand. She did a lot of stuff in this room. Honestly I even enjoyed just getting to sit and be quiet for a while. We have had a long week.

Amanda was a great help with Emma.we actually played with her and her sister at the mall in Yuba City the other day. She recognized Emma today.

Watching the cloggers 

Then we found Ada.

It's a little blurry, but they looked mad. 

And lastly we had to do the rock climbing wall.
