Creative learning, cooking, and play!

Well, one of the "pins" I saw on pinterest involved using household cooking tongs for picking up objects.  What a great way for building fine motor skills, especially for cutting.  So I decided to put it to the test....and it was a hit!  Evie loved picking up her blocks and putting them in a bowl..........and even better.....it was fun to put the blocks in the box when cleaning up!

She also thinks she's big stuff counting to 10 in spanish too:0)

Recently I've had new obsessions with baking different type of muffins and making homemade popsicles!   Lucky for me I have the best cooking assistant and the best popsicle eater too:0)

One of Evie's current favorite toys are her fisher price Little People and some small plastic puppies.  It is so cute to see her imagination and play!  The other day I heard her telling them "quiet at church get a lollipop!"  LOL!  It's so funny to know what goes on in her little mind.  (And yes, I bribe my child to use a quiet voice at church:)   She has the fisher price bus and SUV but didn't have a house for them.  We also happened to buy a new box of wipes the other day.........soooo, with some scissors and a little paint = a perfect house for her people and animals!
