IMG 1149 Liam is friendly and likes riding in the front pack but the big smile is for his mommy dearest (who is taking this photo) IMG 3668 When sitting in the amusement center, he smiles for me also! Thirty days after this photo (my last day!) he learned how to bounce which introduces a whole new dimension to the center IMG 3670 This "cracky" cloth book is a favorite IMG 3667 Upon discovering that
IMG 3672 Princess is sleeping soundly in her crib. IMG 3691 Time to go outside for some fresh air with Liam and Val. IMG 3698 Lam bundled up in his brown bear outfit IMG 3692 Ready to roll?
IMG 3696 Val knows what the pedals are for but her legs are not quite long enough to reach IMG 3703 Back in the yard we colored with chalk on the stones (this is a stay home and get better day, witness runny nose) IMG 3704 Liam enjoys this mechanical swing. At this moment in time it was dark outside but he particularly likes swinging in this chair and looking outside. IMG 3706 Val is very interested in the topic of time. I let her put on my watch.
IMG 3707 Here she's explaining that there are long hands and short hands on a clock. IMG 3708 Then we got the cloth and zipper bunny story book. She has come a LONG way since she first started playing with it! Now SHE can read the book to the bunny herself. She also enjoys taking off the clothes, using the wash cloth, too! IMG 3713 Still working on dressing the bunny IMG 3716 It's clear that the feet go in first but it's difficult!
IMG 3718 Once dressed the book bunny snuggled up with a bigger bunny IMG 3722 Studying graphic novels (these are for adults!) IMG 3725 Outside on another day, the brown bear suit is good but here Liam is showing off his warmest hat IMG 3727 It was chilly (actually, it was very cold) but we did some fine motor skill work outside.
IMG 3735 Then mom and dad came back! Time to swing! IMG 3736 IMG 3728 Val is showing how well she has mastered her baby entertainment system skills IMG 3673 Liam enjoys the Super Coop
IMG 3674 Liam enjoys the Super Coop IMG 3688 Is it time to do some baking? I think so! We put on our aprons IMG 3741 Titine has one, too! IMG 3743 Liam, unfortunately, doesn't have one but he didn't mind
IMG 3747 Val enjoys the Soup Day book so we made vegetable soup together. IMG 3750 While the soup was cooking we left our apron's out IMG 3752 and put out some fires in the back yard IMG 3764 Laim is content with this little entertainment system as long as he is on his back and there's someone close by
IMG 3756 This is proof that Val tasted the soup. It was her lunch but, to be honest, mixing together ingredients doesn't inspire confidence. IMG 3759 Liam with pacifier and lovie lambie IMG 3771 On Sunday evening Val and I had a sleep over featuring popcorn. IMG 3772 Hi everybody!
IMG 3776 Mommy wants to make sure that Val had water handy IMG 3777 The sleepover was a huge success! How could we miss with popcorn and a movie (Finding Dory) IMG 3781 Then Val announced that she wanted to go to sleep in the Pack-n-Play! She happily snuggled under her sleeping bag with the Lion and was asleep in minutes. IMG 3790 Breakfast of oatmeal in a BIG bowl
IMG 3803 Dressed and ready for day care. IMG 3795 The second sleepover night we finished the movie and read new books. IMG 3801 She loves sleepovers!! IMG 3799 Tuesday morning Cheerios in a bag before going to school.
