before and after this latest haircut

He looks like such a big boy!!

New music

I think we'll be buying this at some point for Matthew(and his Mommy) :o)

Be more specific, please.

We have this Veggie Tales CD of kid Sunday school songs that Matthew loves. We play it at least once a day. He loves to dance to the music and I'm teaching him the motions to the songs. We do "Zaccheus", "The B-I-B-L-E", and, of course, "This Little Light of Mine", among others.

What I noticed today was that during the verse that goes "...don't let Satan blow it out, I'm gonna let it shine....", our little boy holds his finger up to his nose and blows his nose instead of his lips! Every time! It is too funny to watch - I'm just thankful that he doesn't have a cold right now! And I guess I'm going to have to be a little more specific in teaching him the motions! :o)

busy mornings

Workin' on the farm and making smoothies!

Baby food

I thought that this was an interesting post on processed baby food. Matthew is way past all of this --- it makes me thankful that he didn't get too much of the stuff in jars. However, I am not judging those who have made the choice to go this route and I am certainly aware that millions of babies grow up to be happy, healthy children after eating processed baby food. Like I said, I just found it interesting.

The playdough project

I decided it was time to try out playdough with Matthew! I found these homemade recipes and have just put the cooked flour one in the fridge. I had read on one site where the mom added some vanilla to the dough so it would smell good(instead of no smell at all). I added most of a bottle of lemon flavoring. I took a tiny taste - assuming that Matthew would be doing the same at some point - and it tasted like a salty lemon. I wish that I had had some food coloring - but I didn't. I chose the cooked recipe because it supposed to last for several months in an airtight container in the fridge - which is a lot longer(several months longer) than the uncooked versions. It was really easy to make.

We'll see how Matthew likes it this afternoon! I'm so excited!! :o)
