Go Army

Junior showing his team spirit(my little brother is a West Point cadet so we are Army fans)

Christmas Ornaments

I posted this on Junior's regular blog so will post it here as well since Junior was using his ipad during our activity.

Today Junior made a couple of Christmas ornaments during his stander time. The idea came from this blog, be sure to click on over and see some of the other awesome ideas found on the blog.
These are called I Spy ornaments. Junior had a blast making them and has been playing with them all afternoon.

Ready to put the "snow" in his ornament(actually colored epson salts)
Checking out what he has added so far

Telling me what to add next
Yelling for me to look at his ipad
Was having a really hard time getting a good picture of the ornaments, I kept getting a glare.
One of them on the tree, though it won't stay there. Junior likes playing with it too much.

Snow

Snow is not something we see where we live and one of these days I hope to take Junior to experience the real thing.
He absolutely loves to play in the insta snow so today at the end of his school we made some snow then talked about snow and cold weather. He was using his ipad to answer questions about snow. He kept giving me a funny look when we talked about it being cold, his snow is not cold.

Amazing that such a small amount of the insta snow powder grew to this amount when we added the water.
Answering a question about his snow
After playing in the snow I asked what he wanted to do next. Since he had done a good job during school and not complained we had more time then usual before his treatments.
Junior decided he wanted to draw on the window with his window markers.
We used some stencils to draw Christmas things. Kind of hard to see in the pics but he wanted Christmas trees, snow flakes, and a gingerbread man.
Junior was in quite a goofy mood today and every time I asked him something he would respond with "maybe"(ipad). He then thought he was just so funny and would break out in giggles.

All that activity wore him out

This post was from a few days ago and at the moment Junior is sick. Please keep him in your prayers for a quick recovery.
