How Do I Change A Diaper!?

This was the question posed to me by Olivia about an hour before her first away from home babysitting gig.  She wanted to be prepared to put an 18 month old to bed. She is so adorably nervous!! We talked about how to change a diaper and we tried to practice on her Bitty Baby with a dish towel. It didn't really work the way a diaper would, but I think she got the jist!  And, then off she went to babysit . . . I wonder when she will call me for help!?!

Where is the Turkey!?

Aidan brought home a homework assignment this week.  It was a "Disguise the Turkey" project.  He received a paper turkey that we were to disguise so that he wouldn't be eaten for Turkey dinner!! Aidan had a hard time deciding how we should disguise the turkey. First it was Batman, then someone from Star Wars, then - he made up his mind! Spike the Dinosaur won out . . .

We used green paper and cut it out to the same shape as the printed turkey. Added a 3 dimesional mouth, including sharp teeth, some spikes and a tail - and, voila! Spike the Turkey Dinosaur was born!! Aidan was VERY proud of Spike and happily took him to school for the display on his hallway.  Too cute!
