Making the best of it becomes the best.

Sometimes I feel a little guilty as I lack creativity and ideas of things to do with Grey. And actually, we've been doing a lot of fun things together as a family in the last 4 months, but, when it's just Grey and I...don't know what to do to stimulate her. And sometimes I feel like I have the telly on a little too much.

I have a few friends in Washington with little ones, but I don't know of any stay-at-home moms like me. Yet. ;)

The last two days I ventured off to the library for there organized kid events. I have to say, although the whole thing sounds cheesy and lame, we've had so much fun!! Grey absolutely loves seeing the other kids, and it's just been a really great thing for us. And all I have to do is show up. (yeah!)

First day, yesterday, a guest came and read 2 stories about rocks. Then we made "rock art". There was tons of kids there and Grey soaked it all up.

Okay fine. I did them. But she first picked out the rock, then the color of marker (on the multicolored one, it's painted green underneath if you can't tell.) Then she picked out the gems.

Second rock was made for daddy. She picked out the rock, gem and colors for the writing on the back. Sorry, didn't get a picture of that, just says, "Grey loves daddy". She picked purple and red.

And that was the only white gem and it's like a diamond so he can remember that her love last forever...aw.
 She will do great someday on her own art, I just know it.

Today, we went to see a musical guest. Grey had a blast! I wish I would have got some better pictures...she was dancing, clapping, doing motions and getting all the kids into the music. Definitely not shy, this girl. The woman leading was laughing in the mic at Grey as she danced around. Yes, she was the only one dancing around. Hee hee. Then at the end, the leader (who had a bunch of instruments from all over the world) let the kids pick something to play...

Grey's choice sounded really pretty. Not sure what it was called but it was made of goat's toe nails. Lovely.

It was really neat seeing her interact and try new things. Seeing her little personality come out and just watch her enjoy life in everything. Thank goodness for free events for children because I don't know what I'd do to entertain her! I'm the worst at clever ideas. I got nothin'!

Here is a little video. I wondered if I should even bother adding it, it's not the best. I didn't think of pictures or videos till the very end. And I stopped the video short! She was just starting to dance...aw man. I have the worst timing. Here it is anyway.
She's fun.
