This past week Mica started getting a bit more of a routine with naps which leaves me feeling a little guilty to continue my pattern of giving him ad hoc cat naps on me in the carrier all morning while Taio and I and I are out and about. He's also getting pretty heavy. So, I prepped myself for a few more mornings at home to allow Mica to settle his body into a routine. I like to keep things busy when we are home and I had a lot of fun with projects this week. Some highlights:
Rainbow Rice - inspired by our friend Cathie in Victoria. Soak rice in food colouring water. Lay out on a tray in the sun. I can't wait to play with our rainbow rice this week. Here is a photo of Taio playing with plain rice before we had a chance to 'rainbow' it. Diggers and lots of different sized 'shovels' (spoons) made for some fun times.
Playdough - Best ever. http://www.modernparentsmessykids.com/2012/05/play-dough.html
Mailman - I posted our old mailbox in Taio and Mica's play area outside. We had fun making art for each other.
With all of the projects, I encouraged Taio to get right in there to help me. Things got messy, but he had so much fun and practiced so many skills. A side note- Taio received the table and chairs you see in some of the pictures for his birthday. I highly recommend it. We use it for everything and it moves all around our house and yard. It's a nice change from always being on the floor.
