Can’t waste a pretty dress! We took Allie to Congress Park in Saratoga at the end of March to get a few photos of her in her Easter dress. We were lucky to have really mild temperatures and a beautiful day!

Progress at the Playground
Up until early March, Allie refused to go down the slides at the playground. She would swing and go up and down the stairs, but would never go down a slide. Not even with someone. Once she went down the little slide alone, within days she was going down the big twisty slide. And after the first time she went down the big slide she said, “that’s not so bad”.

“Science”
Keeping a toddler occupied is no easy task. Lately we’ve been occupying ourselves with little “science experiments”. We made ooey gooey goop, mini volcanoes and cloud sand. We mixed colors in water and observed which objects float and which ones sink. We made an egg float in the middle of water by adding salt. We made a hard boiled egg drop into a glass container using a match. And we practiced our measuring skills with cups, spoons, a funnel and a container of rice and beans of different sizes.
Cloud Sand: 8 parts flour to 1 part baby oil
Ooey Gooey Goop: cornstarch and water
Volcanoes: baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring (optional)
Sesame Street Live with Daddy!
Lucky girl had two shows in January to attend – Laurie Berkner and Sesame Street Live. It’s apparent from this video that she was having a great time!
Jumping for joy!
Here we are in mid January. Brady will be here before we know it! (Actually, he is already here, but I slacked a bit on the blogging, so I’m doing a quick catch up!)
