Shaving Cream Errors ;)

Hi,

We continued with our shaving cream exploration but kept facing errors, at least according to me ;)

On the second day, I added water beads to the box/tub! I think I am starting to hate water beads or at least my stupidity. I have a small figure and a very aching back so to clean the water beads, bend over the tub and collect the escaping ones was a torture to me. I had to give up after collecting half the amount and throw the rest as they are. Don't worry, I have a lot more water beads. The girls of course didn't feel my suffering and had fun, isn't that what it is all about?

                                      

On the following day, I put shaving cream in a Ziploc bag and added a few items in there. The idea was to prepare a sensory activity for Farida and an I-spy game for Sarah. Of course, I should have left some space in the bag so that Sarah can see what's in there! Also, I should have prepared 2 instead of 1 so that both girls can enjoy at the same time. Look at the pictures and you'll know what I mean!

     
                              

Someone couldn't wait for her turn ;)?

These are random pictures fro yesterday at the park that I love:

What an advancement for a girl who never wanted water near her face!!

 We also went to "Brave" movie and let me tell you, it is awesome. Sarah wants to go and watch it again. Of course, we'll do something related to the movie very soon but still not sure what exactly yet!
Thank you for being with us in our errors,
Love,

Shaving Cream Exploration!

Hi,

Finally, we are back to the US and I have finished all my exams! I'll assume you wonder what I did in them, so I am going to tell you I did fine :) As usual, Sarah is sick, very sick indeed! Fever, mouth sores, vomiting and finally eye infection, her left eye is wild red :( Poor girl couldn't get out of bed the last few days so I took advantage of her getting a little better today and we played. From now on, Farida will be part of every activity we do, she is big enough (to me) to be able to enjoy the fun with us!

So, today we thought about exploring "shaving cream". We'll explore more fun ways to use it in the coming days. We only used it once in the past to write the alphabets on it. Today, we "explored" its slippery part. Not a break through, not a very innovative idea but so much fun, very simple and inexpensive ($1), ah and there were lots of giggles.

Color mixing!

The best part was when Farida was trying to crawl and kept slipping. Also when Sarah was doing her role as the big sister and brushing all the shaving cream on Farida.

Shaving cream + food colors = fun + water = very clean bath tub !

Thank you for not giving up on us and joining our fun!

Love,
