So I have two confessions to make:
1. My first two months having two kids were rough - really rough - and I had a hard time adjusting and splitting my attention between the two. And I'll admit, Jack ended up watching way too much TV. I felt really bad at the time, but it was the only way I could get by at the time. I've attempted to mend my ways. Yes, he still watches TV, but not as much, and we try to do fun things together each day.
2. I am not artsy/craftsy. Funny since you think most teachers are both. Never have been, probably never really will. But I'm trying to do more things like that since I know Jack loves it.
So here are some of my attempts to mend my ways lately:
Valentines
Jack set up his office, Cars chair and all, and jumped to work.
I wrote the names and he colored and told me all about the person who he was making it for.
Then I addressed the envelopes and he picked out the sticker to put on the back.
And he loved putting them in the mailbox.
Finger Painting!
I was a little hesitant at first since I knew it would be messy.
But we put out some cardboard and got great washable paints.
At first all he wanted to do was make handprints.
And he thought the mess on his hands was so cool!
Luke watched from the sidelines
(You can't have a post without a cute baby Luke picture)
He then got really into it
Smearing every where - oh the joy of finger paints!
Several people had pictures painted for them.
Pop Pop, this one is for you!
On white paper - for Mommy.
On red paper - for Daddy
On purple paper - for Luke
On orange paper - for Grammy
On blue paper - for Pop Pop
Don't be jealous if you didn't get one - we have more paint
The paint monster with paint on his hands, legs, feet, neck, and even in his ears!
So what do you do?
Jump in a bubble bath!
Does life get any better?
Hopefully we can keep up the fun - I know Jack is happier when we do these kinds of things and I feel like a better mom as we make fun memories together!
