Play with me
Every day I try to do two activities with Gentry. Don’t be impressed. I said try, most of the time they are not this impressive. We usually pull out the board games and play with the pieces or I print out pictures off the web of Curious George and we color them.
This day we painted, it is washable paint. His favorite colors are orange and yellow. He gets to use the bottle of paint and I use the lid. When the paint from the lid is gone I don’t get anymore. He is not great at sharing yet. We are working on it.
What he is great at is hiding things. IN HIS NOSE! Guess what I found there today. A piece of popcorn. I knew it was this because I smelled it. I had to, it was orange and I could not figure out what it was. It must have been a fresh piece or that lovely buttery smell would have been gone. It was also covered in nose slime. Any dry heaving?
Later I cut pictures from a magazine and he tapped them to the wall in my bed room. A couple of weeks later the activity was to pull all the pictures off of the wall. He liked both activities. Also, in the morning when he would wake up he would come into my room and talk about what all these pictures were. Those are Fruity Pebbles Flintstones on the bottom.

Micaela hides things all the time. She likes to eat chapstick, which is a big no-no, and the other day I noticed I was missing quite a bit of money and two chapsticks. After searching for almost an hour I found a stash in one of her shoeboxes under the bed. It had two $20 bills and two chapsticks, half eaten. I feel grateful she didn’t eat the money.
