Grace still loves books..... so I thought instead of just reading them, I could bring some of them to life. I mean I have all these creative "teacher" ideas right? So I should be using them with my own children. I've decided to take a book a week and do some sort of activity with it. We read so many that I can't do all of them- so realistically I should be doing something like that for one book a week. We read Pinkalicious ( a book I got from her baby shower) over and over again, and then I asked her if she wanted to eat some pink cupcakes. She said, "Oh Yeh!" ( I love when she says that.) So we all went to the store- I got all the ingredients, and then I put them all back. I noticed they had pre-baked some yummy looking mini cupcakes that would work just fine!!! LOL ( I know- I should have baked them.) But the truth is, Grace saw the pink cupcakes and said, "Mommy- pink cupcakes- want it!" SO I thought yes... that would be much easier. Anyway- It was still fun. I brought the book downstairs, I placed all the cupcakes around her, and then we read it again. She was so excited. At the very end I let her eat a cupcake. She only likes the frosting- so she ate 2 "frostings" off the cupcakes.
Good times!! Now what to do next week?!?!?! Oh I will think of something tropical since we are going to Mexico. That will be fun!! I'll have to look for another book tomorrow.
