Flour Power

We've done lots of things with the sensory bin. Rice, ice, water, shredded paper, milk... but through it all, one material has emerged as a true favorite. We love flour.

We love it on our hands

We love it on our feet

We love it in our hair

We love to sit in it

Mommy thought she loved taking pictures with the iPad, until she realized that they are impossible to get on blogger, without 20 or so steps. Which is a shame, because she loves crazy filters <3

Sunday in Monterey

So. This is our second trip to the aquarium. You might remember our first trip, which was ok, but didn't send us into throes of ecstasy or anything. But this time was much better. We're still a leetle bit afraid of the tidal surge thing, but the jellyfish were much more interesting...


And we were big enough to get in the tide pools with some help from Dad...

I think we might be kind of into it :)

And I'm sorry I didn't get more pictures at the aquarium, but it's because he loved it so much he never stood still. So here's one more shot of the beach.

Science!

We have been having so. Much. Fun. But "sensory bin" is kind of clinical and unwieldy, so Mom's renaming it. This is the Babylab. We'll probably call it something else before that gets embarrassing, but that's totally what it is right now. It's where we do our science:















Besides the bin, we have an assortment of tools for conducting our experiments. Mom thought she'd take a picture so we can see how it changes as Babyman grows. Here's the current binventory:













But she also knows that no one besides her really wants to see pictures of that, so onto the experiments...

Wood Shop!






We are not doing the wood shavings again. They were everywhere.

This was really great for fingerpainting!














Or, it will be, when we start using the paints instead of eating them.






























Rice, Rice, Baby





So much fun!
