Rainy Day Play

Our weather has been jumping back and forth between warm sunny days and cold rainy days.  On those rainy days, we have to find creative ways to stay busy.  It can be tough since Jack's attention span can be quite short.  I usually spend a lot of time cleaning up activities multiple times a day.  However, it's worth it if it keeps him busy!

Legos are really fun especially when Dad makes an awesome airplane!

Switching our seasonal book basket to spring books and...

playing with his new ducks, lamb and bunny that his Gammy got him.

Playing the harmonica is a great way to pass the time!

He really enjoys sorting and dumping things like dried beans, wheat and even Bananagrams!  This is one of those messy activities!



I also pulled out 1/2 dozen wooden eggs.  He enjoys dumping them all out of the egg carton and placing each one back in.  He usually claps for himself. :-)



By the way, that is our new rug!  We have been saving up for quite a while now and recently there was a rug sale at World Market plus a coupon for 25% off!  I originally wanted a natural colored wool rug but was talked out of it due to it's impracticality. Oh well.  We found this 100% wool rug at a price we could afford and I think it will hide all baby (and parent) messes quite nicely!  Now if it will just stop shedding all over us...

  1. And all of that busyness is likely to continue, only with the added dimensions of access to tools and other exciting stuff and "great" ideas of his own (and the physical ability to act on them) -- hold on for the ride! :)

  2. Him reaching for the Spring book is Seth for sure and him smiling with his cups of letters is you, no doubt but I don't understand what his car is doing in the cat pan!
