Want To Keep Your Kid Busy?



Get some Indian corn and tweezers. Have your child pull each kernel off one by one and put them in a cup. This builds the muscle strength needed for writing and keeps an energetic child like ours still for a LONG time. Woo-hoo! I would recommend this for ages 3 and up. Ayden's Pre-K teacher did this for his class (3-5 year olds) last year and they all loved it.




















That's his serious, "Look how cool this is" face.




















Ian wanted his picture taken too.

























One more random picture: Daddy dressed his girl yesterday!

Afton, your outfit is perfection!

Who knew kids would get into plucking kernels off a cob? Amazing.
