Baby Loves Passover (and the 80s)

Baby Loves Disco was a hit. I got nervous as the day approached since it has been our experience that Kieran hardly ever is as excited about some of our outings as we are in advance. The day before we mostly hung out at home and then went to Passover with the Lipshultz clan (and what a clan we are) down at my Uncle Stanley's. It's about an hour drive so when we hadn't finished up and it was 8pm, we took our leave (sorry everyone - maybe next year we can keep him awake). Though I will say he ate so well he needed no bottle to go to sleep that night.

Today we hung out at home, got Kieran to nap early (he's good at that when we ask him) and went down to BLD at 2pm. Andy & Wendy (and their kids) and my mom joined us there. Their kids were into it right away - their youngest is now 4. Kieran was not entirely sure what to make of it.

The dance floor was fairly crowded (and covered in bubbles) with kids and parents. Average age was probably about 3 or 4. Kieran was not the youngest kid there, though the littler ones were being carried in slings. Like I said, at first he wasn't sure about this place. It was loud the lighting was dark and everyone was getting in his face, trying to see if they could help him enjoy it better.

After we went upstairs, where things were quieter, and he had a chance to play with toys (and try and steal balloons) he started getting into it. Ken swears that he really didn't get into the dancing until the DJ started playing 80s music. Not sure I can disagree. Here is a long-ish clip of Kieran dancing.

Anyway, everyone seemed to have a good time overall. Zack won a dance contest (to Becca's dismay) with some great hustle moves he learned from his mom (and a few of his own). After we were all too tired to move (or so I thought) we headed over to Oma and Opa's for another Passover dinner. Uncle Charles and Uncle Drew joined us there.

Our second Seder of the weekend went much easier than the first. It could be that we used the children's Haggadahs (that's the book we use to guide us in telling the story of passover). The good news is that we had this meal catered and the food was wonderful.

Here are a few additional photos from our weekend. Ken will host more on his website soon and I'll link over to it once he does. Enjoy!
