Whew. What a busy, fun day off we had. Our day started at 4:45am, when this little guy thought it was acceptable to wake up. But as the say, the early bird gets the worm, right?! We met up with my girlfriend Amy and her little boy Hudson at Starbucks for some coffee and breakfast, we ran some errands and made it home just in time for a nap. I was able to sneak off to my Doctor appointment while he slept (baby checked out great, measuring right on track at 29 weeks and HB at 153 bpm).
Mama made it home just in time for little man to wake up. We spent the afternoon making moon sand (moldable sand), which was super fun and super easy! Here's the recipe in case anyone is interested -
8cups of flour
1cup of baby oil
Put all ingredients in a plastic container (preferably one with a lid for easy storage) and mix it up with your hands. We made about 2.5 times the original recipe which worked out great for us. Add some sand toys and you'll have entertainment for hours! Did I mention how wonderful this smells?!
Cade absolutely loved this, but beware, they may want to take their sand and deposit it elsewhere, making your container dwindle very fast :). Also, for some odd reason, the dogs thought this was the most delicious stuff ever. Gross. I'm sure the flour wouldn't hurt them, but I can't imagine that baby oil would be good for dogs, but we all know that my dogs have eaten much worse things.
After our adventures playing with sand, we made an ice cream cone with sprinkles. He of course loved it and did surprisingly well with it, only getting half on his shirt (mama forgot a bib #momfail)! I'm sure our summer will be full of a lot of sand and many, many more ice cream cones . YUM.
