First Day of MOPS at CBC

Cole and I have been anxiously awaiting this day for a few months now. Our church offers a Mothers Of PreSchoolers (MOPS) program during the school year so Cole and I decided to join. Today was a meet and greet kind of social with a carnival theme. (All the moms had their kiddos with them for the carnival but on a normal meeting day we will be separated. Moms will get to enjoy guest speakers, a feast for breakfast, make a craft and get to know other ladies in a small group setting. The kiddos will be divided up according to their age and play in the nursery.)There were stations for the kids to go to and receive prizes for participating. Even though Cole was not able to enjoy every station due to his young age, he was able to participate in a few and he got all the prizes anyway.

First we went to the tub-o-ducks where you go fishing for little rubber duckies. They were so cute. Cole dove right in and got elbow deep in water to grab a duck for himself. (I didn't get a picture of Cole at this station but I did capture his friend Lyric having fun.)

Next we went to the Thomas the Train Tunnels. At first Cole didn't want to crawl through but after seeing his friend John give it a try he went right in.

After crawling through the tunnel a few times; even if some attempts were not successful, Cole and John played with a miniature basketball. John rolled the ball and Cole chased after him. It was really cute.

All the excitement built up an appetite so we parked the stroller off to the side next to Cole's friend Micah and snacked on some Cheerios and apple juice. The rest and snack gave us the energy we needed to stroll around and watch the "big" kids having fun.

While strolling the carnival we ran into many old friends and met some future friends. We can't wait until the next meeting.
