Loving the little things in my day:)))






So how is it that a kid can eat a rice crispy treat that has been totally coated in sand, and still LOVE it??? Brex and Londyn spend most of there days outside playing in the backyard. This means lunch often takes place outside. For Brex, I think he feels "what better way than to eat on the go". Now with Londyn, she takes her lunch up in her playhouse, which is on the swingset over the sandbox. Trust me, I do offer to help. (But anyone who has a 3 yr old knows that this is a very independant age, so needless to say she does like to do things on her own.) So after climbing the ladder with a plate in her hands and dropping half the items into the sand below, she climbs back down to retreive those items and is totally happy to get them back to the top. Infact a new one that I caught her doing today was sliding her carrots down the slide and chasing after them, she then found them in the sand, brushed them off and then downed them. So lunch somhow or another always comes into contact with the sand. It totally makes me sick to think of the sand crunchin between teeth, yuuckkkk! But I guess that is part of being a kid, to just let them learn for themselfs that sand isn't a staple to the diet. Atleast they are eating and not loosing out on any essential play time. Ok, now lets talk about londyn and her new headband. This is thanks to the dressup clothes that she got from nana for Christmas. She has decided that she needs to wear this so she doesnt sweat. Try to figure that one out, but that is what she tells me. ONe of the days she wore it with a dressup skirt and looked a little like a hippie. The other day she looked just like a cute little pocahontas.
