A day with Mommy and Grandma at Lil' Biggs Play Center
Mathias is now at the age where he is such a blast! He walks, "talks" and interacts with anything and everyone. So the latest place I've been taking him is this pretty cool play center for tots known as Lil' Biggs. It's the smaller version of Mr. Biggs and only minutes away from my house so not only is it convenient for us to go...it's also a lot of fun. I try to take him at least twice a week.The place offers a simple buffet with fairly good-sized eating area as well as play area. The play area is setup with arcades, and is basically a mini-town with about 5-6 different playrooms (such as the music room, a hospital, bakery, etc...). There's a large inflatable for kids to jump in (Mathias is still too young for that) and my favorite spot is the giant sandbox. This is probably where Mathias gets the most interaction with the kids. Surprisingly, because he's so tall for his age, everyone seems to mistake him for a 3 or 4 year old. It's hilarious to observe. Twice he's stepped on some kid's sandcastle and danced all over it (very bad). He made the kid cry...and the kid was older than him! Hehe! Then the last time we went, two little blond girls came and sat next to Mathias and started talking to him not realizing he's just a baby. When one of the girls asked Mathias what his name was, Mathias responded by throwing sand in her face. Hahaha! It was hysterical, but I had to scold him in front of everyone and Mathias just looked at me and clapped his hands. I've got a long way to go when it comes to disciplining...and he's not even two yet! *sigh* Next week, I'm hoping to take him to his first soccer lesson. Classes begin at 18 months of age so I'm super excited to see what's entailed. I'll keep everyone posted!
