I decided to make an effort to spend more quality time with my kids, specifically Baylie - making sure I was teaching her and doing more hands-on kinds of things. My sister in law had given her some of these awesome activity folders, so we've been working on numbers, colors and shapes. Baylie loves playing with these folders. (There are more folders, but we're working on these three for now.)
Today we made play clay with a recipe from Family Fun magazine. (You can find the recipe here.) The clay looked awesome - the colors were beautiful. The pink and orange balls were easier to play with. The brown and yellow were a little more stiff. I was really proud of how they turned out. I asked Baylie to smile a "normal" smile for a picture. Below is the result.
And just as I was feeling like I was an awesome mom and had done a great job for the day, I looked up to see this as I was fixing dinner.
Ah, quality family time - even Jalen at just eight months is glued to the t.v. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't try to compete with Disney.
