Activity Check- Sink play

I am sure that is is no surprise to hear that this was a super big hit!! My 1 year old played happily in the water, and she played , and played , and played! I love things that keep them busy for awhile, it made the water mess worth it! When I did this before, in the summer, with my other little girl I let her wear a swim suit and go nuts!

Helium Balloons are Fun!

Today a couple friends brought a helium filled, shiny balloon over for my birthday that is later this month. It was awesome how long the baby played with it! The trick was that it has a really really long ribbon so she could let it fly up to the ceiling and then reach it herself to pull it back down again. It was quite the funny game. Happily the 2 girls did not fight over the balloon and took actual turns, but seeing how this was a never before seen first at our house, I suggest one per child. Good thing they are easily and cheaply found at the dollar store!
