Bubbos...

what's a mommy to do on those cold rainy days when little boys climb walls? water, bubbles, toys... a winning combination! On a particularly wall climbing day I found myself thinking back to my preschool days thinking, how did we keep those little monsters entertained when we couldn't go outside???? One of the ideas that came flooding back to me was a water table. But alas we don't have one! However we do have a sink! So I filled it up with warm water added some bubbles and toys and tada! a water table! I think a huge selling point was that he got to stand on a chair which is otherwise a no no in our house.

{He now fairly regularly toddles over to the sink demanding "Bubbos Bubbos!!!!!"}

Bubble blowing. I'm so shocked that he has this mastered already. I remember doing crafts with the kids in preschool where the kids would blow paint around with a straw. Without fail most of the kids would inhale some paint at some point during the craft. But Rupe has it totally figured out. If you haven't figured it out already... I think my kid is pretty great.

I love doing activities like this with him. They cost nothing and are fairly simple. But sometimes I just don't think to do them or get carried away with the "should do's" of the day. I think I might try to write down all the ideas I have in a book and then I can just have them as a resource when I need something to do with him... maybe I should write a book... hmmn... dream dream dream...

{random. our boy loves to wear adults shoes. unfortunately mine are the easiest to get on... so he is stuck wearing girly shoes for now... and he seems rather proud of it.}

{Grandma got in on the bubble action too!}

Precious little tippy toes not quite big enough to reach. But trying so hard! Which is kind of where he's at right now. He loves big kids and is always trying to keep up. Mimicking their speech, their antics and their accomplishments. You'll get there little man, but hopefully not too fast!
