This morning was our weekly class/playgroup. It’s really a great activity, since everything is pretty much baby-proofed and developmentally appropriate. The class has the same structure every week: hello and other songs, parachute, main activity, snack, story, bubbles, goodbye song. The main activity is what changes each week, and this week was hand and finger stamping. There were washable ink pads, and the kids could experiment with the different colors and making fingerprints on the paper.
Truthfully, my kids were a little on the cranky side, and Daniel just wanted to walk the ink pad around the room and was furious when I told him it had to stay on the table. But we got a few good prints, and the result is my very first pieces of kiddie artwork! Daniel’s is first, then Rebecca’s:
The brown construction paper was to be a tree trunk in case we were trying to make the design into a tree. I think one of the singleton moms managed such a thing, but that wasn’t happening with my kids today. It was otherwise a bit of a rough day. Daniel kept stumbling and whacking his head on something, and Rebecca was just pissy and throwing mini temper tantrums. That one’s going to be trouble, mark my words.
But then we had a nice run around in the yard when we got home, and now they’re up (hopefully) napping. Whew.
You mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Adrift in a sea of leaves.
Aww – so sweet! I love the fall pictures too. The leaves are almost all down here in St. Louis!

I’m impressed that you are undertaking a mommy and me class with two. I just wouldn’t do it. I figured it would just be bedlam and no fun at all for anyone (meaning me.) I’m glad it’s fun. I really like the handprints with the inkpads. You can see their little hands so well. Much better than paint.
