Creative Play

So, my son has discovered stickers, and let me just say that it has been quite an accomplishment in his own sweet mind. He's excited about stickers! And he wants everyone to be excited about them too! In fact, he has been so proud of his sticker project (the paper-plate-covered creation above) that he has (1) hung it on the refrigerator, (2) shared it with anyone who happens to stop by the house, and (3) has a routine with our immediate family in which proper acknowledgment must be paid. Frequently.

It goes something like this:

Hudson: Look, Mama, look!

To which I ooh and aah and giggle and point. Of course, if I'm busy and that fails to work, then he turns on the charm. I'm beginning to realize this little man really knows how to turn on the charm. Not just a pretty face, people!



Hudson: Kiss, Mama, kiss! (adorable kisses) Look, Mama, look!

It works every time. What can I say? He's irresistible!

But stickers aren't the only creative play going on at our house right now. In the wake of Ava's birthday, and as the weather warms up, both of my children have been gearing up the imagination. I wish I could share all their interesting ideas, but here are a few I happened to capture in the last week or so.....

Not sure what this was all about, but she played there for much longer than I expected!

Trust me when I say Yo Gabba Gabba toys are difficult to come by, but we managed to find Brobee at K-Mart! Go figure! So now Hudson has his own "doll" to play with

Look closely. Both parents are freaking out because their girl child has climbed atop the tree. The only unrealistic part? The Hudson figure is calmly swinging, when he should probably be running and screaming off the parameter of the drawing.....Ha!

Apparently Hudson wasn't thrilled with posing beside his masterpiece, but this was another project he repeatedly shared with us

P.S. I love creativity!
