Finger painting and a little dirt eating.

Well, last week the little dude and I decided to try our hand at some finger painting. It was very fun and very messy! Though eating dirt seemed much more fun and interesting most of the time for one of us. I see many more colorful handprints on clothing (and paper) in our future.

Everything and the kitchen sink.

Well I've seen play kitchens all over the place since becoming (and much before) a parent and decided Jack needs one of his very own. Rather than purchase one, I grabbed the box my sewing machine came in, covered it in some walnut-woodgrain contact paper (purchased at a yard sale last summer for $1.00) and even made a back-splash out of some paint samples I got from Home Depot (maybe 7 years ago?). I grabbed some Tupperware (yes the real deal most likely filled with bpa), some old kitchen sink piping and two yogurt containers -- and boom. Homemade kitchen play sink with kind of a mid-century look. Next up, fridge and stove!

Dancin' fool.

The little one is becoming a dancing fool! He mostly bops his head (kind of on beat) to the tunes on the radio and sometimes even throws in a hand flare or two. I do hope he inherits more of his mama's dancing skills than his dad's, but it's truly just a joy to see him enjoy music!
