Chuck E Cheeses

She tried every ride and had a great time. 

Park Morning

Lovely day at the park.

EK road nearly a mile and ate an apple and lots of grapes.

Mid Afternoon Swim/Bath

Playdough

All week Elsa has been asking to do playdough. Ours was pretty grody, so we made some new batches. She requested yellow and "orangie" and I suggested the glitter. It was a nice time for us. 

An Afternoon Bath/Swim

Elsa needed a good activity today and suggested a jetted tub bath with her swimming clothes. She also played with a syringe and made water guns and shot her little guys and cups. 

Park Picnic

Elsa ate sushi and liked running and playing school during out visit to Shelter Gardens.  

Water Play in St. James

Hello summer! Elsa is ready to PLAY!! Photos taken in Nanny's backyard.  Elsa really enjoyed dumping water in the garden and sitting in the pool. She also loves her monkey "swimming clothes".

Dress Up

I see the beginning of dress up games happening here. Elsa wants to use deodorant, make up,and hair spray each time we go into my bathroom. She also enjoys wearing jewelry and hats anytime she gets them in her sites.

Today she played in her car costume from halloween and insisted it go into her closet.

Sibling Play: Hot Wheels

Melting Snow and Color Change Hot Wheels

Instead of playing outside in snow with brother, we brought some snow inside to explore.

She let me know it was "told" and that she liked stirring snow into warm water and making the snow be "all done". It was fun for me to watch her explore temperature and phase change.

She also enjoyed the color change hot wheels - a toy from her Dad's youth.

These small containers of water and you cars gave Elsa one solid hour of play!

Blanket Hat

Elsa's idea during baby laundry time.

Playdough Time

The kids have spent a lot of time enjoying play dough together while we've been trapped inside due to snow, cold weather, and my pregnancy.

Snow Play

You really enjoyed the Late February snows this year. You were 22 months old and it's basically the only deep snows you have experiences. We got 10 inches with drifts around 14 inches.

When Daniel was 18 months old it was February and we had two major snow falls a few months before you were born. He kind of liked the snow, but never played in it. He just shoveled and followed Daddy around. So we didn't expect you to want to play in the snow as much as you did.

You enjoyed sitting, walking, scooping, and sledding in the snow. You had a high tolerance for the cold and didn't mind having wet mittens. You stayed out for 45 minutes each time. You REALLY liked sledding and said WhEE and please??? Anytime we asked you about sledding. Because you are so light, you really could go far and fast!
