Art Class!

Well, we finished up our Parent/Child Exploration Science Class; the last one was on February 17, which we actually weren't able to go to because we were so busy getting ready for her party! We made three out of the five classes, though (we missed the other one because we were in Utah) and we had a blast. She loved sorting things, categorizing things, etc.; I never would have thought that sorting through a bin of wine corks, pinecones and the like would entertain her, but it did! And she of course loved the water exploration days, too (thankfully I brought an extra outfit!)

So now we're on to art class. We just had our first one on Friday, March 2, in the same room as her science class. Of course when she walked in she shouted, "Wa-wa!" (water), probably because she was remembering the science class! When she realized it was art, though, she had just as much fun. We played with this modeling clay that was very neat (toddlers and messes don't really mix!) and easy to mold. The kids had so much fun sticking feathers, beads, etc. in the clay to make something pretty. Although, when Kate realized I could make a ball with the clay, well, that's all she wanted to do for the remainder of the class. :)

I'm so glad that they have these classes for the really little kids; it seems like everything is geared for three-year-olds and up. But we have so much fun going to these things; it's fun for us to spend time together, and we also inevitably meet some new friends for the both of us.

So then of course that night, she wanted to do more art, so I let her play with some of her washable paints. She's quite the budding artist.


Such a pretty girl (with such wild hair!)








Such a little leftie!


This morning playing around with her Bitty Baby outfit. Dan says she looks like a little baker; I think she looks like a soldier from the 1800s ;)
