Activity Time

So every day I try to do an "activity time" with Hazel to make sure she still gets some one-on-one time with mom. Lately, it seems like my coolest activity times--the one I'm most excited about--end with her having a meltdown because she can't eat the crayons or spread the chocolate pudding all over the floor. Finding activities for a one year old that maintain their attention for longer than just a few minutes can be a challenge. So, yesterday I got brave and we tried painting. It soon ended up all over her face and then my face, which was just fine because it was washable. I was so excited that we finally had an activity time that didn't end with a tantrum and tears, and then as soon as we grabbed the camera...

Oh well, we at least had fun for a little while. I love that you can see how messy my house is in the background plus the fact that I'm still in my pj's. Gotta love motherhood!
