| Love this one. |

| Rody was a hit. |

| Because the boxes were such a hit, we decided to add lights and turn one into a space ship. Ellis is looking at the stars through his telescope. :) |

With a blanket!
This game is awesome!

Serious Play
One of Ellis' favorite things is playing with dried pinto beans and colored pasta. He dumps. He scoops. He eats. It's a seriously good time.
Back in December, I had this brilliant idea to have a sensory-play themed playgroup at our house with our Attachment Parenting group. I filled an under-bed storage tub and a sand/water table with 20 pounds of dried beans and 15 pounds of colored pasta (gluten-free, no less). Then invited over 10 of our closest friends and their children. Chaos ensued. I'm still finding beans in random places throughout the house...
Which is why, as you'll see, we take this activity outdoors now. It's a great time. There's something about this type of play that is particularly engaging and fulfilling for Ellis--I don't know if it's the textures, the colors, the shapes, the ability to make a giant mess, or some combination of all of it. As you'll see, Oliver rather enjoyed himself as well!

What a Mess!
We had quite a morning, from a mess standpoint. If you know Ellis, you know that's saying a lot! I'll just say that there's still a dirty diaper MIA in the house. Oh, and the aftermath of a baby powder bomb in the bathroom that I haven't brought myself to face yet.
But it's Thursday, which is playgroup day. I left my house in a worse-than-normal state of disarray and we went to playgroup. We had fun, saw friends, got some sunshine, and--most importantly--took our mess-making elsewhere!
