This month Vivien has been very into taking my jewelry and
wearing it around the house, or packing it into her many little cases and
bags. I have very little jewelry, all of
it costume, and I never wear it, but she found it on a little stand in my
room. Even though I probably won’t wear
them, there are a couple of pieces that I do care about so she has to be
careful with those. There is a third piece
that I know I will never wear, so I gave it to her to keep in her room and that
made her happy.
A few months ago, Ryder picked out a show on Netflix
(Miraculous Ladybug) that I thought seemed silly and uninteresting and I was
happy when it didn’t really catch on.
Fast forward a few months and Ryder and/or Vivien somehow got it going
again and now all us of, especially me, are into it bigtime! It’s a superhero show set in France and both
Ryder and Vivi like to play Ladybug- there are two main heroes, so it’s perfect
or them.
Vivien continues to be 100% into art activities. I don’t think a week has gone by without Vivi
asking to do “an activity.” Her art
spot, which is inconveniently her dinner spot, is almost always set up with
newspaper and art supplies. She likes to
draw and color, but her preference is the messier and more interesting
activities. I bought the kids Bingo
daubers and Vivi loves to use them. She
also still loves Play-doh, pay sand and slime, especially homemade.
Vivien knows that I have a stash of dolls from when I was
younger in a bench in our bedroom and she convinced me to give her some
more. She has most of my old Disney
princess dolls now, except for a few special ones. Unfortuntely two of my Jasmine dolls lost
their heads, but some of that was probably due to their age in addition to her
lack of a gentle touch. Luckily I had
three, so the remaining one has outfit choices!
Vivi loves to dress and redress the dolls and set them up around the
house. She imagines scenes for them and
it is fun to listen to her talk to and for her dolls!
