Today is the first of three "James Days" that we will have before the first day of school in two weeks. We decided last night that James needed to have some super fun days before returning to school. So he got to decide what we ate for breakfast, snack and dessert as well as what we did today. Here is what our day has been like so far:
TV--Arthur, Martha Speaks, Curious George
Breakfast--French toast with bananas, strawberries and whipped cream
Play at Julia Davis Park (his choice of parks today)
Lunch at the park
Dessert making--chocolate covered bananas--of course James and Jacob ate a large helping of chocolate chips by themselves (I should have taken pictures of their chocolate faces and hands! What a mess!).
After the bananas, James helped make tonight's dinner, sloppy joes, by chopping veggies, mixing and tasting (he gave it a big two thumbs up!).
James is making a snack for Julia and himself--mango!
French Toast--the incredibly unhealthy version that mom would never, ever serve up on a normal day!
Lunch in the park with a new friend.
Julia's first trip down the tunnel slide. I think she enjoyed herself.
James met a turtle as we were leaving.
Jacob is obsessed with puzzles. This one had really small pieces and was a little more challenging than what he normally does, but still he did it almost completely on his own. He got stuck with the last 10 pieces. James and I helped.
James loves making goofy faces.
Julia adores play dough, especially fresh play dough. We made play dough today and James decided we needed red dough. I used almost all my red food coloring and made this blood red concoction. It's a little too red and looks weird. Especially since we decided to make it "pretty" by adding glitter to it. Truth be told, when it's rolled out on the table, it looks a little like spaghetti sauce that someone hurled in.
Here is a video of James helping in the kitchen:
