Hoppy Easter

We made this

the kids and I

together.

Easter Egg dying
is tradition
but it's also
liquid in cups
color staining dye
with 20 lil fingers
moving in 4
different directions
not really knowing
how or why
so I
did this
this year...

Toddler Twins
version of
egg decoration
foam sticker
Easter Egg
wreath kit.

I told myself
the kids were allowed
to stick the eggs
however they wanted
I was only there to
guide and encourage.
I will admit
it was hard for me
not to direct
or just do it
myself.

Once they were done
I used the left over
foam scraps
you know, the tiny pieces
they would eat
and detail decorated
the eggs
while they ate lunch.

I know
I know
what happened to
they made it
but all the extra foam
would have just gone
in the trash
I couldn't help myself
it wasn't trash
more Art
could be made
so we officially
made it
together!

Then later
I made more
smaller
real egg sized
string eggs.

It's definitely 

a challenge

knowing limits

wanting to expose 

wanting to create

traditions

memories

but also allowing 

potential

production

success.

Even when
they play

I feel the urge

to play

to show

them 

how

but also
try to stay
aware
and
allow

them

to just be

for now.

His second

favorite

thing to do

when playing

house

after opening

and closing

and looking through

the front door

100 times...

is flush the toilet

100 times!

yes, it and he

make the sound.

She likes to play

a little bit of 

everything

and then

you know

do her own

thing.

Like just today

instead of the normal

scribble

they both 

love to do,

she decided to

hold the crayon

correctly

literally using

the tips of her 

2 fingers and thumb

and "draw" scribbles

and draw CIRCLES

with purpose!

Crazy how

we are all

just hopping

hopping right along

jumping 

back and forth

between

what we know

and 

what we can 

try 

to do.

Hoppy Easter!

I am hoping

you are 

hopping

hopping right along

to a happy holiday

too!
