Sensory fun.

I'm always on the hunt for fun things to do with my boys.  It drives me a little crazy to not have a small "plan" each day... a few activities we'll do or a few places we'll go.  Of course we have our down time as well when the boys play on their own, but I like a little bit of structure in our days.

None of these ideas are original or my own, but a few weeks back Jaxon helped me dye some rice and once it dried they were able to play with it.  The fun colors made me happy (what can I say... I'm a visual gal) and it kept both boys occupied for over an hour... total win win situation.

A couple days ago, Jaxon helped me pour water and make water balls.  They are supposed to be used for watering plants and decoration, but also super fun to play with and a great sensory activity.

I told him, "when you wake up, these balls will be bigger and then we can play with them!"

Lots of fun, but I have to say... It continues to take me off guard when Jaxon says to me (and complete strangers),

"Mommy, my balls got big!"

Always takes me a few seconds to realize what he's talking about.
