What Do You Want to Make Today?
Last spring my girl was home sick for a day, and I decided it would be fun to keep track of all the things we did that day just to document how high energy even a sick toddler could be. It gave me fodder for weeks of blog posts, and was a big part of […]
A few months ago we did yet another toddler busy bag swap, and one of the items was a tanagram set with little pictures you’re supposed to try to line up the shapes like. The Bit has never played with it, but she found the shapes the other day when they got knocked off her […]
