Explorer

John played in a softball tournament in DL last weekend so Colin & I were on our own.  Since it was so hot outside, we rediscovered old toys & even got creative with some household items.

The Leap Frog table was again a hit!  But now it's used for dance parties & showing us all that he's learning.  Here he said, "Momma, circle." & was drawing it in the air...


& then showed me where the circle was.  :)


The boy is like his momma & loves him a pickle, so we had one while waiting for lunch on Saturday.


After a good, long nap it was back to exploring things that really aren't toys.  This box & laundry basket provided entertainment long enough for me to get a double recipe of pico made.




It's so fun to watch this kid's mind work. For a while, the bottom of the laundry basket was a race track for the balls & they would go around & around & around... Soon after, it was a stage as he danced to "If You're Happy & You Know It" & "Down By the Bay".  He might just be picking up his mother's rhythm after all. :)

His mothers rhythm?? Oh way, you're his mother, not me - might actually have some then. :)

Looks like a fun day, love how much enjoyment you can get out of things that are not toys. Wasn't it about a year ago that he was pushing that basket around learning to walk?

Oh and he makes that table look so small. Soren makes his look big!
