"You said it was a brush!"

I showed Landry this doll brush and told her it was a brush. She preceded to brush her baby doll's teeth with it. Kids do the darndest things.

I SPY.....

Can you guess what this picture is of?




Landry decided to transport her alphabet magnets from the refrigerator to every section of the house. And what better mode of transportation than her stroller. That's pretty smart if you ask me. She could carry more at a time that way. This, again, was an activity that kept her busy for at least an hour.

Children and their Daddies

Born within every child is the desire to climb on top of Daddy when he is lying on the floor. It's a reflex of some sort.."Daddy lays down, I climb on". I can remember many times climbing on my dad's back as a little girl. I just seemed to fit perfectly there. It is such a joy watching Landry do the same thing. When Cory lies down on the floor, Landry will spot him from across the room and come running. In this video you will see that Landry has found the perfect horse.

What a fun mess!

Sidewalk Chalk

Today, I introduced Landry to Sidewalk Chalk. So far, she has showed little interest in drawing or coloring, but I thought she might enjoy doing something a little out of the ordinary. Well, she loved the chalk, but not necessarily for its intended purpose. She loved emptying the bucket and filling it back up with chalk. She enjoyed drawing on the plants and chasing Saban with the chalk. She also liked balancing the chalk on the bucket lid and attempting to hold two pieces of chalk with one hand. And she liked giving the chalk to me and taking it back again. Don't get me wrong, she did write on the concrete and was pleased with her work, she just thought the other activities were much more interesting. The important thing is that she did have fun as you can see in the pictures.

Imaginative Play

Landry has begun imaginative play. There were times before where she would talk on a play phone, brush her hair with a brush, or feed her baby doll a bottle. But now, she has begun to pretend toys are different objects. In this video, I believe she is using her doodle board as a plate and spoon. However, she doesn't just eat off of the board. She goes around eating off of everything. This kept her busy for about an hour.

Barefoot and Running Wild

Wednesday night, the CSU BCM sponsored a Praise Fest on the school's intramural fields. Landry, not knowing too much about what was going on, stayed pretty close to me the whole night. There were so many people there she did not know. This was until I took off her shoes. She kept losing one sandal so I decided just to do away with them. What a difference. Apparently having no shoes felt freeing and the rest of the night was a game of chase to her. I didn't mind though. It is such a joy watching my little girl have fun. Look at the expression on her face. It is priceless!
