Today, we painted. And glued. And taped. And recycled. I have started keeping a recycling crate in the kitchen that the kids can pull from and create. I am trying to make clear cut rules for what needs permission and what does not. I know paints always, always, ALWAYS need permission. Always. But should crayons? I'd say no except I find marks on the the walls from crayons that made it into the bedroom. This is a robot that the 2nd has been wanting to build for a while. He was in his element getting to use any medium he wanted to create. I was happy that high dollar toys were not being
destroyed with paint and glue.
It was a happy experience because at least for a few minutes, we were all working on our own projects together. The 2nd has been plowing through books this week. He continues to read Scooby-Doo and Sponge Bob (not my favorite) all day long. The PS has been asking for more books to be read to her, which I am pleased about.
