Finger Paints

Today was an artsy kind of day for me and Mya.  We worked on some Valentine's Day projects in the morning and then we did some finger painting in the afternoon.

Okay, Mya could be considered a neat freak.  She hates having anything on her hands (dirt, fuzz, string, and the list goes on).  I wondered what she would do with the finger paints and, to my amazement, she L.O.V.E.D it!  Mya is a very focused almost 2 year old.  She really concentrates on tasks, like coloring.  Using finger paints was no exception.  We spent nearly 30 minutes finger painting and she would have gone longer, but I was getting bored!  :)  

She started out with just one finger in the colors and by the end she used her hands to smush all of the colors together!  It was a fun day with my little girl!

One of the finished products:

Oh, Saturday, We Love You

It was a cold morning, so we decided to see if Grama and Grampa wanted to join us at the Children's Museum.  Mya got a pass for her birthday and we are super excited to use it!  Guess where we'll be all summer long?  :)

Mya showed Grama and Grampa the ropes, since neither of them have been there before.  She played on the slide, the bridge, and the tree house.  She took Grampa in the tree house because she knew that he'd do it if she asked!

Oh, the grocery store.  Mya particularly likes the phone and cash register.  She had a ball putting items on the belt and moving them on the belt with Grampa.

We visited the kitchen, movie studio, and the climb in digestive system.  Downstairs we played in the water and did some crafts.  It was a wonderful morning!

Then, we had cake for dessert that night.  Correction...Mya had frosting and the rest of us had cake!  Saturdays are nice.

Techno Girl

I brought an iPad home from school last week to play around with.  Guess who also likes it?  We played some matching animal games and I was surprised at what she could do.  Mya always amazes me!  But, if you ask Mya, her favorite app is the coloring app!

Play-Doh

I pulled out the Play-Doh this weekend and wondered what Mya would think of it.  She's unusual in the sense that she freaks out when anything is on her hands...and I mean ANYTHING.

Well, she loved it.  Hmm...this weekend Play-Doh, next weekend finger painting?

And here's one just to make you smile.

Daddy's Little Helper

Wherever Greg is with his tools, there is Mya right by his side.  She loves her drill and hammer, but if given the opportunity, she loves the real hammer more.

Last week Greg was pulling nails out of a cabinet with his hammer.  Mya saw this and ran away yelling "Mya hammer!"  Sure enough, she came back in with her plastic hammer!

Snow!

We got some snowfall last week and Mya and I went outside to play for a little bit.  She brought her shovel along and helped sort of helped.  She was happy just to trudge through the snow while I shoveled.  

She also started marching up and down the sidewalk and people who came by thought she was pretty funny.  That's my girl...she'll be a class clown one day!

Cookie Girl

Grandma Pat picked up Mya from daycare the other day.  She took on the task of baking cookies with Mya, Nadya, and William.  I think Mya put flour on her face just to make it look like she did all the work...
