Jude has been playing a lot of building games online. Some of these games have free chat and as we keep an eye on what he types, we see marked improvement in his spelling! :) So it does come when the child desires it!!!
We have had some lovely days and made it to the park a couple of times. Lainey is still VERY unsteady and leery of walking in places other than inside our home, but I was able to get her to walk a bit outside!! We also bought some foam mats and she has been intentionally, carefully, stepping onto them. She is progressing so beautifully.
Photos of robins outside our window. We watched them eating berries for a long time.
Jude unwrapping bday gifts. He loved the new video game chair we got for him!
This is the foam mat we bought. Lainey loves the texture and Jude loves building forts with it when Lainey is in bed!
This is a marshmallow monster. Jude made one and I made one...then they battled in the microwave! Jude's head fell off! We took a video of it and one of the aftermath! He was surprised how hard the marshmallows were. Some of them even shattered. It was fantastic!
Jude loves to help cook. He's a great pancake maker! For Valentine's Day we made pink pancakes.
Jude climbing up the spiral slide.
Such a handsome young man!
A tree to climb.
Jude took this one! It was windy and that didn't help Lainey very much! :)
She was, however, very happy to sit in the front passenger seat while I stood outside beside her and snapped photos of both the kids. Thankfully this playground unit is right by the parking area.
Jude took this photo of the geese grazing.
Jude built different boat designs and check to see which ones floated better.
We melted crayons in the microwave to create a multi-colored disc.
This is the bottom side, the top is lumpy. Jude said the top looked like a cool chunk of rock and that overall it looks like a reese's cup!
We had a ton of rain and way across the parking area and little road on the hillside was this waterfall. We all thought it was awesome.
