Today was brought to you by the letter "B"

Beads - sorted, ball - bouncing and beading bracelet.

Butt of boy hovering bravely. Some of the things we did today Mac, I am so proud of you and the things you could do today. You wanted me to open my bag of beads I had bought last night. I suspect you thought they were candy.

I got out an empty egg carton and tried to teach you to sort by colour. That was a little too challenging for you yet, but you liked putting individual beads into spots and filling the egg cup before moving onto the next one. You spent a long time doing this I then thought I would try to teach you to thread beads onto something. I used some pipe cleaners, which were the perfect things to use. At first it was hard for you, you didnt quite grasp the concept, but then I peeked through the hole of the bead at you and showed you how to line it up with the pipe cleaner. You thought this was a fabulous game. After a few beads you were threading like a pro. We turned our beads and pipe cleaners into bracelets, and wore them proudly I am so proud of you, and to have been able to see you through the process. We also played soccer outside. You surprised me by throwing the ball at the tree trunk over and over again, and catching it each time. You worked this out yourself, which I think is pretty darn cool for a 2 year old! It was playgroup day today too and you might notice in one of the photographs above that you have something blue under one of your fingernails. That is because we played with the play dough too. It was a lot of fun with you today. I am glad we could make things and play together. I love you mummy xoxox
