Well last week while I was putting up Christmas decorations I found this. It was a craft that was left over from the Westbrook 6th Ward Christmas party last year. Of course I didn't put it together so I thought that now would be a great time to have some mommy time with Aspyn while Sophy was sleeping. She loved it! It surprised me how much she loved it so we made a wreath too!
I had to glue on the pieces with a hot glue gun so I had her stick the pieces onto the felt. I am learning that I have become somewhat of a perfectionist in some aspects. I guess having kids has taught me that. Well, I have to admit that when she put a piece on the felt I had to fix it so it wasn't sideways or whatever way Aspyn put it on. I am going to have to work on that. So when we made the wreath together it wasn't "perfect." It was really fun just watching her have fun and watching her learn. She was so excited for Aaron to get home from work so she could show him what we did together.
I realized that when we were putting together the nativity scene that she didn't know the story. I know that she has heard it before but it was when she was younger so she didn't remember. What a fun experience/memory I now have of this teaching moment. Well, when she showed Sophy she told her the story. How AWESOME! Now they both want to play with baby Jesus.
