Fun Friday's

Friday's are the day Wickey comes over(Becca's granny). This Friday was super fun. In the morning we had a tea party and her "friend" the little blue guy sitting in the red thing and the dinosaur came to have tea with us. She loves to have tea parties.


Then after her nap Wickey came over and brought Becca a princess jewelery set so we put that on her and she actually kept most of it on for about 2 hours! She loved the earrings and necklace.


Then we decided to have fun with some snow...she wanted to go "walk-a-walk" but it was too cold. I got some snow and brought it inside and played with spoons and making snow castles, which she called cakes and that's why she is eating one...silly girl! That kept her busy for a while. Then her and wickey played in her cardboard house while I made supper. Wickey made some curtains for it and they played peek-a-boo. Pretty cute.



Today I am going to attempt to make play dough...could be scary.

Dish water

Yesterday I was trying to finish up the dishes when Becca wanted my attention, as usual. So instead of telling her to play for a minute I let her help me. (I'm trying to be more patient and a better mommy) So I got a chair and stood beside her , with my leg behind her too, and let her play in the water. She LOVED it. She would take the forks and spoons and dip them into the water, she thought that's how they get clean. Then she played with her bottle brushes and a measuring cup.

She didn't really like the bubbles on her hands, she is a little particular about stuff on her hands.



Then of course trying to catch the water, one day she'll figure it out.

Oh and a bonus picture of my beautiful girl with her "outfit" on...boots, beads, a bracelet and of course no pants!

fuzzy fun

I did some motor skill activities today. I got the idea from Jill's blog so I got out the fuzzy puffy things and two baskets and a spoon and away she went! She was concentrating so hard, I can tell because she holds her breathe. She transferred all the puffs to the one basket and then dumped that one back into the first! LOL I guess she figured it was faster. She did really well and only used her hands a few times. She seemed to really enjoy it too. I am going to try doing colors and shapes soon to see if she can match them up. I am trying to find more ideas to try with her. It gets kinda boring being inside all the time. Its so cold out! I can't wait for spring so we can walk around and collect some "treasures", Becca really enjoys being outside.

A little update, Becca is finally better, two weeks of a runny nose is no fun, now I just have to work on mine! The antibiotics I'm taking are working a bit for my ears, I can hear better today, thank goodness!

In other news I think Becca wants to be a Doodlebop. She loves them and she will sing or play her piano and then say doodlebops so I think she wants to join the band! LOL I wonder what color she would be?

Numbers

Yesterday Rebecca successfully counted to 5 so I thought I would make some kind of number thing for her. This is what I came up with. Its a cute caterpillar with 1-10. I printed the caterpillar from DLTK. I put it in the living room so we can practice together. She likes to count so now I will try to show her what the numbers she is counting look like.

Also here is a pic of the "R" I did for her room the other day.

dollar stores are fun!

Well Saturday was my day off..."wickey" (Granny) took Becca to her place for the whole afternoon. I went for a walk and watched a movie and just relaxed all by myself!!!!! Wow it was fun and very different!

Sunday we went to the new dollar store and got some fun things for Becca. Some little fuzzy puff ball thingies that she likes to count and put into different containers. I got a letter R and painted it pink with white polkadots to put up on her wall. A wooden toy train I will paint. Plus some cups and bowls and plates with Dora on them. She had fun and so did I!

Today we are going for a walk to the doctors, my ears have been blocked since Saturday. The we will go to my sisters for a paydate with Becca and Tyson, he's 8 months old.



The visit was fun! Tyson is so cute. Becca loved to play with all his toys! We will have to go back soon. Oh and I have fluid in my ears...fun, fun.

Painting is fun!

Yesterday Becca made her Daddy a painting, she had a lot of fun untill it got on her hands, I had to clean them before she would paint anymore.

She was very proud of herself! Now we just have to work on staying in the lines! LOL



Then in the evening she decided to make cakes again, putting the muffin tin in the oven. She even wears my oven mitts!


Today she wanted to wear a dress and her beads I got her at the dollar store, my new favorite place!!! She is very pretty wearing her "jewels" Later maybe we will try coloring or painting again.

I am back

Ok I am going to try this all again. I am looking into trying new things with my daughter and I would love to share with all my friends the pregress I make. Also if anyone has ideas on some fun activities for us then let me know!

Also an update on my girl! She will be 19 months old soon and she is the bestest thing that has ever happened to me! She can say well over 100 words, its hard to get her to stop! lol. She loves having tea parties, especially with daddy, oh and Elmo and her bear. She has been in a toddler bed since 15 months. She has most of teeth and her beautiful red hair is getting longer.

Some activites she enjoys right now are playing music, on her piano and "drums", she is a beautiful "singer" and so much fun. I built her a house out of a box yesterday and she loves it, so do the cats. She also enjoyed making "cake" with the muffin tin and some liners.
