Cousin Time

I was overly ambitious yesterday & decided I would teach Will shapes. I've been using a shape sorter but chalk is so much more fun, right?
Will preferred standing on the shapes...

& then sitting on them. He did not learn shapes but he did have a pink bottom for the remainder of the day.

We kept Will's cousins the other night & had so much fun. I gave the boys some choices for their evening activities: "cousin hide & seek," "cousin finger painting," & "fishing wii with Uncle Reagan." Wii was a very popular choice as was finger painting. No one but me thought hide & go seek would be fun.

Above, Will & his cousin, Harper (age 3) in the bath (& therefore giving Hayden & Uncle Reagan some time to play wii without interference group participation

I like where Will has found his preferred canvas

(Don't you love my new art smocks? They don't quite fit Will yet but will someday!)

I really love the arts & crafts part of being a mom!
