Mellie has been at home with Ronnie this week. Long story short, we don't have money for day care this week. She should be back to her adventures at Ms. Betty's next week. Ronnie is not really accustomed to having her home, so I have been trying to come up with fresh things for her to do to make things easier on him. Ronnie has always been interested in muscle groups and gross motor skills, so the other day I e-mailed him an article about developing gross motor skills of kiddos that Mellie's age. (see article here: http://www.parents.com/toddlers-preschoolers/development/12-18-months-activities-for-large-motor-skills/?sssdmh=dm17.547583&esrc=nwASToddler_Wk5&email=2322092273)
One of the suggestions was to take cardboard boxes and cut out holes (like windows) for them to crawl around in. So, Ronnie took the article's suggestion and we just happened to still be holding on to the box her new convertible car seat came in. Why we have the box when it has been installed for almost a month is another story. We have issues with holding onto boxes that things come in. Yes, we are seeking help. (No, not really!)
At first, he said she just pushed the box around. Which is another suggestion in the article - giving them things they can push around. But she did eventually crawl on in. Cuteness ensured, and the pictures are attached. Notice her clutching her sippy cup. Enjoy!
