Rolling the pine cone in birdseed.
So proud of his pinecone!
Poor Walker. He's the 2nd child and doesn't get to do all the "fun things" I did with Will when he was his age. When you have a 2nd child, there just isn't time for a lot of one on one time. Now that Walker is home with me on Wednesdays (he went to a different MDO the first half of the year, but I took him out to spend some more time with him. Will goes to school 3 days a week and Walker goes 2 days and I work at their preschool on those two days, so I enrolled him in a MDO program near our house so I could have time to run errands, etc, but it just got to be to hectic going to two different schools, dropping off, picking up and I felt like my whole day was spent in the car dropping off and picking up. Plus, I just felt guilty and really felt that he needed some individual attention from me.) I've tried to come up with some fun things and projects we can do together. Sometimes, it's just as simple as getting out the play-do and building things together, which is a "big deal" in our house because I only get it out every now and then.
Walker has been really interested in the birds outside so I thought he would enjoy making pine-cone bird feeders. He was so cute and excited while making them, but the best part has been checking our trees everyday to see if the birds are eating from our feeders. This was such a simple project. The pictures are kind of blurry because I was trying to shoot in manual and it's hard with a moving target. I have loved getting to spend this time with him. He just doesn't know what to do with himself when Will isn't home. He loves waking up from his nap to go get Will from school.
