Mr. Sandman

Today we got out Matthew's new sandbox, a gift from Grandma&Grandpa Garner and Guinnie! I purchased green and blue sand from Wal-mart to make it extra fun. We played with all of the sand toys and even threw in our rocks from yesterday's rock hunt in the lot next door. Not too much sand ended up on the patio, although I did find some in his hood!


L-O-V-E
We have magnetic letters on our fridge and whenever Matthew is playing with them, I will spell out the word LOVE and then say it while doing the sign. Yesterday we were eating lunch and I said, "Matthew, mama and daddy love you very much. Love!" and he immediately pointed across the room to the word on the refrigerator!

OOPS, NOT QUITE
Yesterday we went in the backyard to break up bread for the birds. I explained that the birds were hungry and that we were giving them bread to eat. Then I showed Matthew how to tear the bread in pieces. After demonstrating, I gave him a whole piece of bread. He looked at it and then held it up in the air towards the construction workers next door. Guess he wants to feed the boys nots the birds.

OOPS, NOT QUITE #2
For some reason the song that goes "I dropped it, I dropped it, On the way I dropped it" popped into my mind but I couldn't remember the rest of the words. So I started singing "stole a penny from my mom and on the way I dropped it." (Sorry, mom). Anyway, when I began the part about dropping the penny, Matthew started looking around on the floor thinking that I had really dropped one!
