An Elsa Like: iPhone Play.

I found her laying on a blanket, oh so comfortably, pushing all the buttons on my phone.  She even found a game to play all by herself.

 

Usually I take the phone away from her because I need it or I don't want her to chew on my phone, but I let her explore for awhile this time.

 

Kitchen Help

Elsa is tall enough for the learning tower.  She stirred for me as we made muffins and was not shy at cracking eggs into the mixture.

 

Pizza Dough Play

Back in early August, we took Nanny to Shakespeare's West for lunch.  The kids wolfed down their pizza and then we played with pizza dough on the patio for about twenty minutes.  Both Daniel and Elsa enjoyed their playtime and used various objects I had in my purse to roll and poke the dough.

 

Daniel is 3 years, 1 week.

Elsa is 15.5 months old.

Elsa's Rain Dance.

Elsa couldn't wait to play in the rain.  She's only seen it twice this year with the drought, but she waved her arms as if she was splashing and hooted.
She was the first to dash into the rain.

New Favorite Place: The Driver's Seat

Elsa has discovered how much she likes being in the driver's seat this summer.  She revs her engine, zooms the steering wheel, and shouts in delight.

She also enjoys playing with small car toys and watching cars pass by the house.

"Elsa's idea of fun: a school bus passes and she is getting to play driver. "

 

Washing Up

Elsa is helping us get ready for the yard sale by washing the bench and Bumbo seat.

She takes her wiping work very seriously and even wiped down the house and her legs.

Big Girl in Baby Swing

When Dan got it down from the attic, she made a beeline for the swing.  She rested quietly and really enjoyed it.

"I didn't think I had an emotional connection to this swing. She never used it as a baby. But he is so sweet in it now as we price it for a yard sale! "
