Madelyn is learning about rhythm and control. In the end, she reverts back to her version of "peek-a-boo"

So Close

The closest Madelyn has gotten to getting on her knees. This is a good first attempt...

Rainy Day Activities

The weather here is blah. Overcast, COLD, no snow, occasional rain showers. I'm sure if I got the girls bundled up we'd last all of 7 minutes. When Moriah wants to REALLY go outside she pitches it to us like this: "Can I go outside and get some energy out?" On days when she can't get her energy out outdoors, we like to play hopscotch.

Toy Boat

Moriah and I decided we would give book illustrating a try. I love Moriah's details - and she always points out that her little boy does not have a string attached from the boat to his finger. In the book, he let go of the string and the boat floated away.

Multipurpose Cardboard Roll

Moriah and I have an ongoing game we like to play...we think up different uses for this roll and write them on it. Here are a few examples we've come up with.

Fire Hose
Cast
Telescope
Horse
Telephone
Walking Stick
Paint Can
Car Tunnel
