Jamas Just Around JDaniel’s Ankles

By

On Sunday morning I left JDaniel in the living room reading a book in his sleeper suit so that I could get ready for church. I knew my husband was in the kitchen and would be moving to the living room to be with JDaniel. Within minutes of getting into the bathroom I heard the pitter patter of little feet and squeals of laughter. I looked out of the Continue Reading

Spring Training- Getting Ready For Egg Hunts

By

We started spring training for egg hunts last week by searching for some of JDaniel’s plastic balls around the second floor of the house. I gave him a plastic basket to collect them in and carefully explained what he needed to do. He had trouble at first finding them even if they were in plain sight. He needed guidance to know what part of the room Continue Reading

St. Patrick's Day Grocery Store Hunt with Paint Chips

I picked up these paint chips at my local Lowe’s store. I love that they have a window you can use to see an object behind the paint chip and see if it matches. The little window made it a great tool to take to the grocery store and look for green foods. JDaniel loves to have something to do while sitting in the cart. This activity was a lot of Continue Reading

Hands On Thank You Notes

By

Kids can use a hand print instead of signing their name on their thank you notes.

My sister Michelle used to have her children’s hand traced at the bottom of their thank you notes. It was a great alternative to having them scribble all over the card. Yesterday afternoon I finally sat down to write thank you notes for all of JDaniel’s wonderful birthday gifts. Last night after dinner we sat down to do his hand tracings. He loved Continue Reading

Shearing or Plucking A Sheep

When I visit the other Muffin Tin Monday blogs, I get to see some of the crafts they do as a part of a group called Tot School. They always look great and fit a theme each mom has picked for the week. Since I am focusing on lions and lambs this week, I thought I would have JDaniel make a lamb with cotton balls and a paper plate on Sunday Continue Reading

From having his Cozy Coupe waiting for him when he came down to breakfast, to getting to wear his special Curious George birthday shirt, time at the zoo, eating cupcakes, and opening gifts he loved it all. There was a meltdown when mama won’t let him open the GeoTrax gift his friend Jake gave him until naptime was Continue Reading
