We headed to the Children's Museum of Phoenix this weekend. It was a blast and N is the perfect age to go.
When we first walked in we were hit with a huge climbing cage. Guess who was the lucky one to get to go in??? Little man had so much fun climbing up.
I admit it wasn't that bad, until I realized there was no exit at the top, and you had to climb all of the way down.
Here are my cutie-pies at the museum. She is so content as long as you take her wherever you are.
Doing our shopping at the grocery store. Next time I'm going to send him with my list.
The noodles were great to run through. But some advice, if you're an adult man chasing your older kids through the noodles, please keep in mind there are other young children passing through who will not appreciate the scary noises you're making.
Grab a bike and take it through the wash.
What a great day at the museum. I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area. Three stories of fun!
I discovered this fun Cheerio's Play Book for N. Who doesn't want the excuse to play with your food?
He is seriously in love with letters these days. I am really enjoying his enthusiasm for learning without much prompting on my part.
While I first attempted to get him to put the letters in alphabetical order, N did not agree with this plan. I've learned with his personality that if I know he already knows the letters, it's best to give him the creative space to do what he wants. Afterall, I don't believe in actually doing "school" at this age. It's more about letting him just have fun and learn along the way. So, this is what he came up with.
Sticker books are one of our new favorite things to do. A favorite for N because what little kid doesn't love stickers? And a favorite for me, because what parent doesn't like some quiet for a little while?
I seriously love her. How can you not? This is M at my feet all day long. And she'll bounce there until you pick her up.
I really don't care much about food. I'm not saying I won't eat it, but I don't get super excited if you tell me we're having a steak (ahem, like my husband). BUT, I do want to make eating a fun experience for my children. Enter Muffin Tin Mondays. I came across the idea a little bit ago so here goes my first Monday of it.
Left to Right: Gold Fish, Peaches, Soy Milk (poor kid. We think he is allergic to milk)
Train ham/rice cheese sandwich, Alphabet tomato soup, Another train sandwich
*We're using a large baby food jar as N's cup. It has been the best way for him to learn how to drink out of a real cup with minimal spillage. So glad I read this idea somewhere. You could probably use a small jam jar as well.
I think we'll probably make Monday our library day as well. It worked well to pick up our reserved books and come back for our Muffin Tin lunch.
