The Terrible Two's: the video diary

Jacq had a great time at The Terrible Two's show last night. Here are some videos that prove it. For more on the show, and some pictures, see post below.








Reason #3,798 why my kid rocks!

Last night I took Jacq to her first show. The band is called The Terrible Twos. The singer for the band is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. Jacq had a great time. She danced the entire show. Here are some pics.

I had so much fun. I really admire the singer, Matt Pryor. I have been listening to his music for over 10 years. It was really special for me to be able to share this with Jacq and for her to respond so well to it. It is defiantly something we will do again.

Can I Please Have Some More?

I really like this picture. She wanted more chocolate ice cream and thought pouting would get her some. It didn't but she did get to go in the pool so she forgot she even wanted ice cream.

I found this great craft idea here.

You need:
Red Paint
Paper Plate
Black Construction paper (which I didn't have so I painted white paper black)
Paint Brush
Scissors
Glue
Black pipe cleaner

First let your child paint the back of the paper plate red.

Next cut out the pieces of the body with black construction paper. You'll need a head, some dots and a line that will separate the body.

Then you set all aside and let it dry completely.

Next glue all your paper pieces to the plate. I let Jacq help me with this and she went a little crazy with the glue stick.

Poke 2 little holes for the pipe cleaner and make some antennae. I added googly eyes for fun but it still looks cute even without them.
Here is the final result!

Carwash

Jacq hasn't been feeling well this weekend so she hasn't got out much. Last night she got a sudden burst of energy. Marc was going to wash his car so we decided to let her help. She had a great time helping dad.
