Josie is getting so interactive, and as a result we're having even more fun with her. Tonight we decided to make Josie her first "sandbox" out of a lasagna pan and cannister of Quaker Oats.
We had lots of fun hiding her toys under the oats and watching her dig them out. And - as you'll see in the video coming soon - she caught on to the game & joined along.
Even more fun than playing with the oatmeal in the "sandbox" was watching her dump it out all over herself and create a huge mess. (Tonight I discovered that Louie and I are the type of parents that appreciate a good mess in the name of fun.)
And, after the oatmeal was out of the pan and all over Josie and the floor, the pan itself made a pretty fantastic drum.
So - long story short - Josie's first "sandbox" was a huge success - so much so that we just put all the oats back in the pan, snapped on the lid and set it all aside until it's "sandbox" time again.
I've been having trouble uploading the video, but I'll try again tomorrow. :)
