Whoo Hoo Thank You!

Every time Little B wants to play Lego, she wants to play with all sets together. And every time she is done playing, I have to clean up by sorting and storing them in a couple of different ways. This storing was making me go mad!
Isn’t there an easier way to organize Lego which makes playing with it and cleaning afterwards simpler?
I asked her what she would want to dress up as and she instantly replied “The Cat in The Hat.” Huh! Really! I thought The Cat in the Hat was last year’s craze. Remember her 3rd birthday party? Nevertheless, I promised her to give The Cat in the Hat costume a try.

So I took some inspiration from the craftsy ladies on the internet and decided that felt flowers was what I wanted to this project.
Since Little B has learned the word ‘confetti’ she likes saying it, she likes making it and she likes throwing it in the air every time she feels something important is taking place. For her, celebration = confetti. She keeps cutting paper into bits and stores them …
With all the birthdays that the month of May saw, the closest to my heart was my father’s. I love him but unfortunately we have a love-hate relationship. We spend so much time fighting that we forget to tell each other that deep down we love each other more than anything else in the world.
With so much love it is only obvious that I wanted to give him something personal, heart-touched and handmade on his birthday.
So it was time for another round of crazy activity session with Little B. We were watching Sesame Street (boy, does that show ever stops amazing me!) and we were inspired, literally. An artist was painting something on a hand and kids were having fun …
I love science. For science is all these little parts but still it is much more than the sum of its parts. It has a million ways to excite you and surprise even the uncaring among us. And thus, often for indulging Little B in productive …
