Color, Color, Color!

Since the kids are on Spring Break from preschool this week, I am trying to keep their days structured as much as I can by coming up with themes. In honor of Angelique, today was Color Color Color day! (She always says that when she uses crayons.) Check out our snack of Fruity Cheerios (which we separated into groups and took turns feeding each other) and the science of Gatorade!

Also, Ashton's found a new way to amuse himself while we run errands, he looks for colors all around him. Oh, to be a child again, finding wonder in everyday things - "Look Mommy, that door is BLUE!" or "Here comes a RED car!" (We even dyed Ashton's oatmeal and bath water GREEN with food coloring!)

I hope that Kate begins to take interest and decides now is a good time to learn to express herself in ways that don't involve tantrums or hitting. Actually, I think it's working! She's starting to understand communication is great! Tonight when I read her bedtime stories, she said the word "Door" many times and pointed to the doors in the pictures. I am so proud of what a good big brother Ashton has become recently and how nice they are becoming with each other! One minute he's teaching her to say door, the next minute he's demanding we give Kate a lollipop after removing a sliver from her foot, never asking for one himself. And Kate, she minds him and takes care of him just as well, always picking up his belongings and bringing him sippy cups.
