We started by coloring and gluing on some Curious George and Christmas sheets I printed. Her attention span is pretty small so I was proud of her for sticking with it as long as she did.
Next we had an impromptu dance party using two plastic bibs as "guitars" and singing Christmas songs. Well, I sang and she laughed at my awful singing. Then we decided to start making our salt ornaments. I should have done a little more research on this project because it started off pretty rocky.
She is all about stacking these days... |
We made pancakes because it was simple and required no thought on my part. And becuae Macey loves to stir the pancake mix. She sits on the counter (minus pants these days... as soon as we get home she asks to take her pants off. No idea.) and stirs and then plays while I finish making them.
I realize it looks like she is about to fall off here, but she didn't. ;) She loves playing with the "little teapot," aka, my Neti-Pot. (which I can't recommend buying...)
After dinner and more playing, we made a second attempt at making our salt ornaments. Hopefully after some paint and acrylic they will look better. Either way, we had a great time making them! Macey kept asking to make her hand print again. :) Maybe we'll get out the paints tomorrow and try more hand prints?
We definitely missed a fun night in Birmingham, and missed Jimmy tonight, but we made the most of it and had a blast together. I love this little girl so much. She makes me laugh all the time and I find myself staring at her and just smiling while she plays/explores. I'm so blessed that it brings me to tears.
