I have surrendered a planter in my backyard for Chloe Jo to do her digging...usually it is for pirates treasure. I bury the interesting items that she finds for her to rediscover with her "shobel". Today was our first birthday party experience. It will almost bring me to tears thinking about how many hours I spent as a little girl digging. I made mud pies. They were so unbelievable I could always coax my sister, Micki, to actually eat them! We stuck with dirt today,though...mud is the next level. ha I had some rocks from our old fish bowl that were perfect sprinkles for our "chocolate milk" pies and cakes. We made candles out of sticks we found in the backyard.
It is so much fun to see Chloe Jo use her imagination when she is playing. Of course it makes me so happy that she enjoys the kind of things I did as a kid. I don't care if she is dirty from head to toe...I want her to explore and create.
We can all have a moment together as we think about the good ole mud pie days.
Have a great day friends!
The birthday girl... blowing out her candles:)
