Mommy Post: A whole bunch of Toddler fun!!

January 23, 2012 Leave a Comment

SO, Liam’s newest phrase is” “Whats Next Mama” as in, I’m super bored, and I need MORE!!  SO Yesterday, I made a promise to  myself, that I would get back to getting creative with Liam, I hate to admit to this, but as holidays came and went, and so did traveling, and family visits, we have become that family, that lets their toddler watch waaay too  much TV!! (and drink too much juice, and make too many messes..whatev.) Unfortunately for us..he is only content for about 20 minutes in front of the TV.  That’s right, I said Unfortunately, don’t get all judgy on me now, if you only knew the things G and I swore we would never do, before we were parents..the list, is too long to even start, but lets just say, we will not be winning parents of the year..unless the award goes to the parents with the most LOVE ( awwwww hahaha!)  Anyway, in the summer, and even into the fall, I did an art project with Liam everyday we were home together, even if it was something little, like building bugs with pipe cleaners, so yesterday, I went back through my mental list of fun things for toddlers!!

We spent the morning making delicious, brown rice, pretzel, goldfish, animal cracker, honey nut Cheerio “Muffins”.  I let Liam choose 5 ingredients,  pour each thing into the bowl, and “mix” it all together! I then brought out the muffin tins and let him scoop, and dump and refill!! He was IN LOVE with this idea! we sat at the table for an HOUR!! it was a huge hit, AND, I just dumped it all into a large ziploc for later!

Next super duper, fun toddler project?? Shaving cream and food coloring..now, I have done this with him before, when he was much smaller, and he didn’t love it so much. THIS time, he played for over an hour and had a blast!! he was very serious about his dino’s and shaving cream 🙂 I layed a towel out on his art table, with a bowl of clean water, and a cookie sheet. I used almost a whole can of shaving cream, and let him pick the colors, I think I had as much fun as he did!!

I love that Liam is “eating” shaving cream in the background !

It’s NO joke, when your Triceratops needs a “save” as Liam calls it ( shave) Verrrry serious business around here!!
 I love this age so much, I wish I could bottle it up and keep it forever, then I remember what its like to witness a 2.5 yr old melt down, and i gently just tuck these memories in a safe mommy spot 🙂
Happy Monday!!
