Heart & Ice Cream cookies! The girls helped me put the ingredients into a bowl and mix it, roll it out and push down the cookie cutters. Alona decorated many of them on her own, hers were easy to distinguish...piles of decor! So cute, I ate one that she decorated just to make her feel good and she did, she smiled. Abbi was more into throwing the sprinkles on the floor and refusing to have help from dad with the knife. So Abbi and dad played blocks, Dad built up the blocks and Abbi had fun kicking them down.We learned about being a missionary and made missionary cubes. Alona enjoyed cutting hers out and to our surprise she did not cut off any pieces that she needed to be able
to glue it all together. She did awesome! Paul is a great help with her in that area, she is left handed I get so confused at how that works. I don't know how to help her, I wish that I was ambidextrous. Abbi wanted to use scissors to, but she didn't want our help she just wanted to stab the paper with the scissors and then when we wanted to take them from her she ran away. She wants so badly to be independent.

Yipee! What fun! I wonder which was more fun for Alona, decorating or eating - the decorating part, it seems! Our Miss Alona is in need of left-handed scissors! We'll have to get Grandpa working on that - he always complains if he has to use the righty type.
Tumbling over a stack of blocks seems much more fun than picking up your own messes! I can hear Abbi now saying "Did it! Did it!"
The cycle of life is such a curious and rewarding thing to experience. Val would spend hours building things with Paul and his brothers so they could knock them over (the fun part) and now Paul is sharing the same things with his children. Too sweet!
Thanks for sharing!
