First GymBirthday Party: Haoran's 1st Bday!第一个生日派对：皓然的一岁生日！

posted by Joyce

Last July 30th, Gymboree Nanning had its first GymBirthday Party! Haoran celebrated his first birthday, Ocean-Adventure style. 7月30日，金宝贝南宁中心第一次举行了生日派对：以海洋探险为主题的皓然的一岁生日派对！

Vera and I led the GymBirthday party in the play room.

We played beach volleyball, using the Airlog as the "volleyball net", and beach balls for the babies.
“沙滩排球”



Next, we had our special Birthday parent sharing, where we asked the parents how special was the day that their babies turned one.

We then went over to our Ocean Dive, and we had some ocean bubbles, and some fish shakers and wave drums. 在充满海洋泡泡的海底游弋

We went back to the center mat with the parachute, and blew some Birthday bubbles for Haoran and his friends. I snuck out of the class while Vera distracted the families with the Birthday ship ride, and when she called Gymbo out, I went into the class dressed up as Gymbo (actually, I was Crinkle, Gymbo's friend). Some of the kids got scared (the looks on their faces are quite funny), so I had to change back to my uniform.

We then went out to the lobby to have some cake! Yum yum! Some parents said that the party was like Children's Day, so I am so happy that we had a successful, GymBirthday Party!!!
