With all the activity buzzing around Lily and her sickness, Eloise needed to have some attention and some fun. So who did we call? NANA! That's right, my wonderful mother made the 2 1/2 hr drive to help us out. Eloise and Lily always appreciate the Nanny hugs and mommy always appreciates the clean floors and laundry.
Nanny arrived just in time for activity central. I had some fun projects lined up for Eloise and my mom to do.
First, flubber. This was fun, but really messy. I would advise using a plastic table cloth and bibs. It's not hard to clean up, but it does get everywhere. Despite the mess, Eloise played with this for at least an hour. Very cheap to make too.
Second, Play Doh cookies. Found here
These were so much fun! Eloise had alot of fun eating. It helps to have an extra adult on hand to prevent the eating and to help with the rolling. These would be great for a b-day party.
Third, jumping in puddles in your big girl panties. Designed my Eloise, herself.
The boots are on the wrong feet
Can be designed to fit your toddler's needs.

Kate, I just love all your activity ideas! I think you need to start another blog...just with all the crafty projects you recommend that we can do with our kids!
I am Stacey (Hamilton) Renschler. Kate-my mom emailed the link to your blog and it is so great to see your beautiful family. Your daughters are so darling. I read several of your posts. You cracked me up! I have to admit that I go to my farmers market for the same reasons-ha! I'll be checking in. So great to see your girls. Maybe they can marry my 2 nephews in a couple decades??
Can I get your email address so I can invite you to my blog? Mine is brad_97@msn.com if you want to email it to me? Thanks Kate
Nik needs to bring his boots over and go puddle jumping with Eloise as that is his absolute favorite activity! His boots will most likely be on the wrong feet as well, but that would be mama's fault as I did it TWICE yesterday. Mommy brain...
