Falling Leaf Project

I convinced my mess-phobic Tot to paint with me this week!! It felt like a victory since I'd seen this idea on Tot School and thought it'd be perfect for us in the absence of real fall leaves. Mason helped me paint a couple of pages of heavy-weight paper and I sponge painted some pages with leaves on them. 
 We cut the pages into spirals and glued the leaves onto them...
 Here's a close-up of one of them, you can see another in the background.
 And here's the full effect...Mason was pleased.
 We did plenty of "red" dots! Red is the newest color Mason can say and it's adorable to hear.
 Mason caught me sneaking into his room to make some pictures...and felt the need to smile for the camera.
 He quickly returned to his regular activities though. I love to sneak up on him and see what he does when he thinks he's alone.
 And I LOVE this picture because of those baby piggies. This boy has some seriously cute toes!
 Then it was Daddy's turn to sneak up on Mama and Mason.
We're starting the letter 'P' this week. I have a new sensory bin I hope my Tot will enjoy and plenty of other fun things planned IF Mason decides it's a good week for Tot School. Mama, as always, has high hopes and big plans...just in case.
