The Letter "M"

So Tony and I wanted something new to do and we were bored the other day. We came up with "M" day. We started with gluing Marshmallows to paper in a the letter of "M".
Tony didn't like getting the glue on his fingers. He hates his hands and fingers dirty. So he was very carful pressing each one by itself with one finger.

He mostly liked having the marshmallows around. He snuck in a couple of bites here and there. He thinks marshmallows are the yummiest snack next to fruit snacks.

The final outcome... I think he did good don't you?

Then we played a game with marshmallows. I put BIG and little marshmallows in one bowl together. I placed a tag in each bowl. One for the BIG ones and one for the little ones. He had to seperate them and put them where they go in the matching sign and bowl.

The best part was that he got to eat them when he was done. But of course he is only 2 so it didn't catch his attention for too long. He was ready to move on to another game after playing 2 or 3 times.
Then we went around the house naming everything that starts with "M". Mom, Monkey, we went out to get the Mail, Manny off Ice Age...
It was a fun day, we got the idea off the blog, No time for flashcards. Thanks.

How fun and Tony is a man of my own heart. Marshmallows are perhaps the greatest thing that ever happened!
