High Noon

I'm trying to teach P how to pour tea. She doesn't quite have the hang of it, but she's getting there. The tea party was going great but didn't last long, as in typical toddler style, she gets distracted easily.

Play Dough

Daycare Donna sent P home with some homemade play dough. Well, we didn't really have anything to go with the play dough, so it was fun picking a set for P. I (because she didn't really have any say in the matter) chose the Cookie Monster alphabet set since it seemed the most appropriate. All of the packages said the recommended age was for 3+. Oh well. I hardly pay attention to those recommendations unless a choking hazard is involved.

We were so excited. We got home and took everything out and played and played until Daddy came home. We made him cookies and everything in between. P was so mystified when we shoved the cookies down his mouth. She had no idea where the cookies were going (even though they were falling out right behind him!). I don't know who had more fun--me or her!

Also, on a side note, as I started making these flowers I thought to myself, "This is what working with fondant must be like." Maybe some day if/when I get ambitious, I'll try making something with it. File that away for now.

You've Got a Friend In Me

We watched one of P's crib buddies one Saturday evening. My sister and her family were also over for the weekend, so I'm not sure what I was thinking as with three toddlers, it got a little chaotic, but for the most part it was very easy. P and Bode entertained each other and us, too! They had a great time together. Getting them settled down for bedtime, though, was not easy. Bode's parents came back from their little date night. They were so cute. As they left, I realized that they seemed so giddy (or maybe tipsy!)...hmmm...maybe we need to take advantage of more date nights!

Water Play

At daycare when they have water play, P likes to get wet! Oftentimes, she has to change her clothes because she is so drenched and Donna says that if you are standing by her, watch out! We got a water table and even though it was cold outside, it didn't stop our water baby at all.
