Nopa Little Ones and Music Together

Sunday was the monthly playgroup for the Nopa Little Ones. How these parents find time to organize such amazing events, I’ll never know. This time we were at the Brahma Kumaris Center for Music Together classes. There must have 50 children plus their families all singing, dancing, pounding on drums and shaking bells. Lucius and I stayed there for both sessions and it was really nice to see him go from nervous observer (he literally sat in the hall way most of the 1st session) to participant in the second. If you live in San Francisco, I would definitely recommend checking out the Music Together folks – especially if you are a rhythmically challenged parent like myself.

These photographs were all taken from one place and mostly from the hip. Apologies in advance for all the children I missed.

NOPA Gingerbread House Party

Today I played staff photographer for the NOPA Little Ones’s Second Annual Gingerbread House Party. The event was funded by donations from local businesses and a First5 grant. I can tell you from all of the smiles and pretty fabulous gingerbread houses that this was money well spent. As you’ll see in the pictures the kids had a great time but I’m pretty sure they were more interested in the candy and frosting than the structural stability of the houses. However there there some parents that were putting their design, engineering and architecture skills to the test. I haven’t seen that level of determination in quite a while.

Thanks to everyone that organized and attended the event.
