Feeding the birds will be so much more fun when it's spring and all the baby coots, ducks, swans, geese are around, but for now we have been making do with feeding the birds in our warm clothes. Evie is very brave...even when a big swan walks towards her!
With all the rain and illnesses lately, Evie and I have had to get creative with our afternoons. The other day we made playdough (2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup salt, 1TBS vegetable oil). I didn't add food coloring to it and Evie doesn't know how to make things with it yet, but she did enjoy squishing it around a lot.
Evie's legs are finally long enough to reach on the rocking horse we bought at our local junk store and refurbished (actually we only covered the really ugly seat with some pretty fabric, but it completely changed the look of the previously haggard rocking horse). She is a big fan of rocking on her horse and also in the rocking chair in her room. We're still working on remembering to hold on.
