Busy Boy

Josiah certainly has enjoyed his grandmother's attention today...and observing it is just as much fun for me as a procession of our childhood toys are marched out from storage at intervals throughout each day!

I captured some of today's events on camera, but not pictured activities include Josiah and Nannan baking banana bread, choosing fabric from the stash for making a stuffed dinosaur tomorrow, playing with marbles and duplo blocks, and reading lots of books.


Making spinners and trains out of Tinker Toys.



Listening to stories and looking at the accompanying books with my old Fisher Price record player and Disneyland records. (What a blast from the past for me to hear several of those old stories again!)




Hearing the story of the first Christmas retold by Nannan with accompanying reenactment. The soft nativity set is one Mom whipped up out of scraps nearly 30 years ago. The stable is made of a Light Bright box I received as a Christmas gift as a little girl about Josiah's age!



Learning to play Snood on the computer. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. :)

Ella has a toy laptop that she bought with her own money about 6 months ago. It has really been too advanced for her up until now, but last night she got it out and sat intently playing on her laptop for probably 25 minutes. Brad and I thought that it was super cute, but were not sure how we felt about her playing video games, even educational ones!!
