Play, Sing, and Pose

Something I've really been struggling with lately is finding activities to keep Elijah happy and occupied. I don't want to just be playing with his toys and stacking boxes everyday. It's been tough for me because a lot of the projects I want to do, Eli is a little too young for yet. So I've been checking out books at the library, searching the internet, and scouring Pinterest for ideas. I've found a couple good ones and will be sharing them over the next few blog posts.

The first one we did last week was from the book First Art: Art Experiences for Toddlers and Twos. It's called "stretchy dough" although I couldn't get it to stretch. It consisted of vegetable oil, water, food coloring, and flour. I think Eli enjoyed it.

One day Eli randomly began singing part of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". I'm not quite sure where he picked it up at (it's not usually on our song list for some reason) but we got it on video! And yes, that's his classic camera smile at the end.



And now I leave you with one of the most precious pictures I've taken in a long time.
