What to do on cold days with no snow:

Yesterday, it was cold outside without snow. So what did we do with our long day inside?
-I made a list of things to collect that corresponded to a number, and he had to bring me that number of things. 1 chicken leg (play food :), 2 keys, 3 blocks,... He had the best time and I was able to get a little computer work done while he was hunting. When he brought them to me, I would double check his number and he would check them off his list.

-We had an Easter egg hunt. Good thing it was with painted wooden eggs, since we can't find one. Wyatt hide them, then he found them (except a few.) Still lots of fun!

-What to do when there is no snow outside, and lots of Styrofoam squares in a box?

All aboard!

Wyatt saw 2 boxes the other day and decided that they were a train. After playing with them for awhile, he decided he needed something a bell. Next came a bell, something to hold the tickets for the train, a steering wheel, 4 wheels, and a box for his train whistles & snacks.

 

We had 2 chairs set up as the train station, where the passengers (stuffed animals) waited. They each had to give a ticket to board. My responsibility (I was informed) was to say, "Enjoy your ride" to each passenger. That night Pa, Ma, and Kate even got in on the action (of being on the train.) Wyatt was the only one who went anywhere. He would run and push the engine then jump in.

Superhero!

Wyatt's newest endeavor is being a superhero.

"spy glasses"

It started the first of the week when his blue sunglasses were unearthed from under the seat in the car. He would "activate" them and call them his spy glasses.
Then, came superhero night on Wednesday night, and from Wednesday morning on, he was decked out in his costume, that Peg and Owen had given him. Literally, every waking minute of the past 4 days (and one night) he has been a superhero. His self acclaimed powers are climbing, jumping, and going under things. He especially likes his cape to flow out in the back - big jumps are crucial to make this happen.

This present was well traveled by the time it was opened - everywhere he went that day till the afternoon.
