I'm trying to trick him into praticing his writing every chance I get.
Thank goodness for self-directed children cause I wasn't really feelin' Art Day today. Shayla, I really am that kind of mom too! The kind of mom who prepped her son the first day the calendar was made that sometimes we might have to move things to another day if they don't happen . I thought ahead! Once he got out his supplies, I had to join in and we all had a great time. Here's a peek...
WARNING: LOTS OF PICTURES !
I love how he sticks out his tongue when he's really concentrating.
I didn't know/remember that we had a watercolor set until he pulled it out of the art drawer!
At one point he yelled,
"Look! It made blue. Red and purple made blue! Right, mama?"
"It sure looks blue," I replied.
"Told you I was smart!"
Look! No cast! And we're still using our left hand. And yes, that is Optimus Prime on her tee. Or rather on his tee on her.
She really got into her painting. Both hands...
and feet.
After painting and snacks, the old montessori preschool teacher in me reared it's head and we did a little noodle sorting.
Then it was off to bed for Sophie while Spencer and I cleaned up and watched some Halloween cartoons on YouTube. Pretty fun and successful day if you don't mind that I'm still in my pj's without my make-up or hair being done. And it's 3:45 p.m.

There's only soo much one girl can do, right? If you had done all that with the kiddos AND were dressed, make-up, and hair done I might not be able to be your friend anymore. :-) Love the pics. Shell sorting...we need something like that in nursery to keep kids occupied for a few minutes.
But, when you are old and gray and your kids are our age will they remember that you didn't get dressed or will they remember that mom played with us all day???
My babies are so grown up! It makes me a little sad...(not sad enough to have another, mind you)...but sad, nonetheless.
So why you gotta make all the rest of us mom's look bad? Just kidding, I took my kid to McD's to play and the park today, so I'm feeling pretty good about my mom skills right now.
I didn't even realize Sophie's cast was off today! I guess I only saw her once or twice with it on. It'll probably take her a while to get used to using it again. I love that Spencer's shirt fits her just fine.
That sounds fun! Can I send Katie over?
I love fun discovery days like this.
