Monday: paper crafts

Lately the boys have both been enjoying paper and pens/markers/etc.  Joshua colors up a storm.


Isaac punches holes in the paper.  He also really like to staple it and then remove the staples.  But we have a ton of staples and barely use any, so why not.  He rarely uses paper to color.  Coloring is on the list of his not-fun school activities.  (It makes it a bit hard because coloring is so easy to bring to different places, but he gets bored with it so quickly.)

Today Joshua also enjoyed coloring himself.  Perhaps he ran out of paper?  We were both tinged blue for most of the day, but it's now mostly gone.


We also had our first day of gymnastics.  Joshua and I started with a Mommy and Me class.  He held on to me pretty tightly for the first half.  I got him to do a few things, but not much.  Then the class split in half and he did a lot better with fewer people.  He really like hanging from the high bar and letting go and was ok at the balance beam too.  There's a foam pit for some "free time" at the end that he enjoyed jumping into.

Isaac had his class right after it.  I could only see him a little bit.  He wasn't great, but he wasn't bad either.  Several students had been there before and knew the routine, so that seemed to make a large difference.  He said he enjoyed it.
