potato stamps

For the sake of taking a quick shower I decided to entertain Max by letting him paint with some old nail polish that I don't use anymore. I gave him a piece of paper and he painted in my bathroom where I could check on him as I showered. He really had a blast playing with all the different shades of pink so I decided to do a real paint activity with him using non girl colors.



These are potato stamps and they are supposed to be a sail boat and a train. Carving the shapes into the potato was a lot harder than I thought.




Next time I'll use more colors and I think I'll attempt making some simple animal shapes.

Max is so good with his little sister Isela. He is so affectionate and is genuinely concerned when she cries. He always wants to help taking care of her. I am still surprised that he has not exhibited any jealous behavior as of yet but I'm so grateful for that.
I am super thankful for Tia Patti and Tia Teresa who came out to help me the first three weeks. Max misses his Tias and always talks about going to the park with them. We'll be seeing them again in the next couple months.

Strasburg Railroad

Earlier this week we went to the Strasburg Railroad and museum with some of our friends. Max was so excited that he kept saying choo choo!










Max is such a fun kid. We can't wait until we head out to California to spend time with our family and friends.
