In an effort to be a more involved mom, to offer Emily developmental experiences and to spend one-on-one time with her, I have implemented "craft time" into our day. Claire either crawls around on the floor or is napping while Emily and I both work together to make something she is proud of at the end of each craft session. I really do try to let her do as much as she can, and then I fills in the holes.
Here is just a sampling of what we have done over the past few weeks. A lot of days she just wants to paint with water colors, or color with crayons in her coloring book while I watch her. I have learned that it is a skill for a toddler to really focus herself and concentrate on starting, then completing a project.

Sorting and counting fruit loops, and then making a rainbow with them.
Hand-traced fish
Hand-traced sheep
Color-patterned Centipedes
Toilet paper roll octupuses
And here is one of Mom's projects, as of late. This is so non-professional and thrown together with dollar store frames, but I have wanted to have their hand and foot prints framed for a long time, and am glad I at least have this now :)

oh so cute! This makes me excited for when Adalyn is old enough to do projects with me. :)
