The Children's movement center

So like last month, I like to do my resolution last minute. Why not? This month Roo and I hit The Children's Movement Center in New Milford, CT. It is located right next to my sister in laws place, so I totally see this being a place where we will tell the husbands to bring our rugrats to while we do our "necessary" momma runs 😉
It's a pretty big location. Ideally I think it's great for kids that are at least 2 years old. The place had a huge floaty train contraption that I personally wanted to go in haha! Roo was way too young for that. 
We headed to the front that had 2 huge swings. Roo loved to go on with the guiding hands of momma. Then we went to the next area that had a whole bunch of mats and usual gymnasium set-up. Roo had a blast just running around. 
The back room had this whole play gym set up, which I don't think he would be ready for until at least 3. But right next to it they had a ball pit (I didn't really let him go in it..that kinda stuff skeeves me out) then a whole bunch of "backyard" toys. 
On the total other side they have rock climbing and a zip line. So the place is geared for older kids. But honestly we easily spent 1.5 hour for $10 with him just running around touching the "new" stuff. 
They had benches and tables. So you can easily make an afternoon of it. Bring your child after nap-play-have snack time- then play again. Tiring the lil monsters will happen! 
I would totally bring Zach again. I would probably wait till next Fall though. I think he would be able to enjoy the area more!

What a crazy weekend

Sitting here at work with hot tea, tissues and honey. I have or actually my family has been sick the past week.
 It all started with Roo having a cold that turned into an ear infection. Horrible little things, I will be very happy when he "outgrows" them. Then of course Mama wanted to join in the fun and I am stuck with this cold since Wednesday that is just not leaving, I am actually contemplating to go to the Drs. tomorrow to make sure I don't need a z-pack or something like that. Now my husband who had a cough in the beginning, is actually sick. Usually when someone is sick we can piggyback on someone to help us, but with both of us. I just hope we are all better by the time Roo is done with his antibiotics because another round of this is just wayy too much. 
I use to be the person who was the person who never got sick. Now that Roo was born I have been sick literally every other month. When do I start getting immune to that?? Soon I hope.

Roo is Mr. Serious when stuck with an ear infection :(
 
On a happier note. Spring is officially here in a month. I personally am wayy too happy. I'm just hoping the warmth comes soon.
