Squigz

Since Christmas, Squigz have lived up to their claim of being "fun little suckers." Cameron likes them, the twins like them, and even I get satisfaction out of the popping sound they make when they break suction.

After they learned this little trick from Grammy and Grampy, there was no going back. Any time Ben sees a squig on the ground he picks it up and says, "On." "You want it on your head?" "Yes." Then he gives me a cheesy grin and excitedly puts his hands together and rests them in his lap while I smack one on his forehead.

Jack doesn't like the Squigz on his head, but I caught him looking through a book by himself..!

I realized the other week that at this age with Cameron I was doing 1 or 2 more crafty learning activities a week. Coloring, painting, putting stickers on paper, playing with play dough, shaving cream in the tub, etc. I hardly ever do that stuff with Jack and Ben. Let me rephrase that, I almost never do that stuff with Jack and Ben. Whoops! Is the gap between first child and second and third already that big?!

It's one of my goals this year to do one planned sensory/artistically creative activity a week. It's not something I'll lose sleep over if I miss, but I figure it will be easy to do something with them every Wednesday when Cameron is at pre-school.

This week: Do-A-Dot painting!
