Playroom Part 2

The playroom will always be a work in progress but it seems to have a nice enough variety now to keep K busy, so I guess we will call it complete...ish.  It's a great space for him and it's nice to see him learning through play.  I love to see his wheels turning.  

 I plan on using those grey chevron curtains in his rooms as he grows, I just love them!

 He loves his marble maze, which is a great toy but detaches regularly so I get a brain workout as well. The kitchen is also a favorite.  It's the perfect size too because his playroom is fairly small.

 The tent serves as a quiet space/reading nook.  We spend a lot of time in there.  The goal is to hang some bookshelves on the wall for easy access.  Right now he just has a pile in there that I rotate.

K is starting to draw more and more and he seems to really get use out of the stop sign chalkboard in his playroom.  

K's first performance

K learned this song in preschool and he loves it.  Enjoy this video of cuteness...excuse the hair, he just got out of the tub.

Transportation Playroom Round 1

I always said that I didn't see the point of playrooms and K wouldn't have one.  I lied.  Not on purpose, I just came to the realization that they do serve a purpose.  I always saw them as a place to store the excessive amount of toys that many children own.  This playroom will not be that, but it will be a place where he can learn a variety of things through play. It won't be a jumble of random toys, it will be an organized place where his imagination can run wild and free.  I know that sounds like an oxymoron, organized and imagination, but I want it to be organized so he can see the potential in each object in the room. I can't wait. He is really into everything that moves so I decided on transportation themed walls.  Here is what I accomplished this weekend. :)

 Here is the wall about halfway complete

K saw the walls this morning and ran from one design to the other telling me the name of each one.  I was so happy to see his excitement.  I still need to by a few things to organize the room how I picture it but I am happy with how it's coming along.

Happy Birthday MeMaw!

We went to the Discovery museum yesterday and K decided to play MeMaw a little happy birthday tune.

MeMaw's Valentine's Day Card

K received a Valentine's Day card from my mother.  I had him open it on video...of course at the end his only interest is seeing the video.  K loves to see himself on video.

K had some extra energy after dinner

Dance Dance

I have been trying to get K to shimmy since before he started walking and he has been less than willing to please in the dancing department. I am feeling a change in the tides though.  In the last week or so he will boogie...some...not as much as I would like, but at least he is dancing some. I am not sure why I want to see him dance so bad, I just think it's adorable when kids dance.  I love to see what moves they decide to show off. I hope to have many more videos of K's killer dance moves in the future, but until then, at least he will twirl a bit.
