Hi my name is Kae-C. I have a 29mth old daughter and a 17mth old son. On top of that, my husband is in the Army (infantry) so I have my handsful. We moved to Washington about to be a year ago. Big change from Texas and big adjustment for me weather wise...lol.

We're lucky to live right down the street from the ocean so whenever Landon gets a bit antsy, we take him to play in the sand and you've never seen a child get so excited. It's easier to clean than dirt and we really don't have to worry about him making a mess. Only down side is when he gets a bit curious and tries to eat it lol.

My little one loves to colour paina dn dance as well but she is only 19 months and still has a habit of putting everything in her mouth...so I haven't attempted play doh yet, and thank goodness crayola has magic markers that are non toxic lol...I just pretty much let her decide what she wants to do, she has a huge imagination and if she wants me to participate she lets me know otherwise I just sit back and watch her create and explore.

I make soap bubbles using baby soap and let her pop them...she gets a KICK out the really huge ones. We also have this nice section of woods in our backyard...so we go for walks in there and she always goes out and hunts down little flowers to carry around. And then...when it gets too dark for her to play and we've exhausted ourselves from all the running around, I'll pull out a game controller and let her "play along" with whatever game I'm into at the moment. (Her favorite controller is the Playstation one...the analog sticks make her giggle when she moves them or "clicks" them)

I like to do almost everything with my children that has been written here, You ladies are amazing. A couple of other things: 1. I use food coloring in our ice cube trays and when taking a bath, the kids can pick out what color ice cubes they want their water to be. 2. I let them eat their popsicles in the bathtub. Less messy and fun for them. 3. We play a music game where we dance and when I stop the music they have to freeze. 4. I made green, red and yellow traffic signs using construction paper and popsicle sticks. When I hold up the green they walk fast, the yellow they walk slow, etc. 5. They have always helped me in the kitchen since I can remember. All my children have their own aprons and step stools to help out.
