Some pictures from May. Chloe and I were outside playing and we decided she would tell me a story and I would draw it for her. Her story began with a train. Then there was a birthday cake. Then the train ate the birthday cake and turned into a Cake Train. I thought it was pretty cool she could make all of that up. Her imagination is growing by leaps and bounds these days. We have all sorts of pretend scenarios.
I don't know how I come up with stuff sometimes but, alas one rainy day I decided it was a "great" idea to make paper mache figures. We blew up a balloon and covered it with strips of paper and while we were working on that Doug made a dog/horse (some sort of creature) out of coat hangers and we covered that as well. Here you can see Chloe painting her creature. I think this project might have gone more smoothly if Chloe were older. Although she has enjoyed painting her projects. So maybe it was a good idea, hummmmmm.
