she loved it....and we suspect that part of the reason is that she has such a great role model in 'the ways of the sandbox' in Silas........He makes everything fun!
You'd have had to have been there to get the full effect but she got such delight out of submerging her hands into the sand! It was so fun to watch!
She observed patiently while 'Pop' showed her how to pour (he remembers that pouring ability is positively correlated with the ability to read!)
And then she was ready to take over!
And, oh my, there was plenty of excitement when we began discovering the 'other' visitors to the sandbox habitat. Silas says, "Here, put it on MY arm" after Cora politely declined. And I say 'other' visitors, because we'd just shown them a nest of tiny bunnies under the henbit and ivy near the sandbox.
Then we moved on to bubble blowing and, once again, she's got a great mentor for this skill, in her big bro!
The first few bubble wands ended up directly IN her mouth, instead of 'in front of.' Yuck! But she didn't seem to mind.
Then she began to get the 'hang' of it and.......
even started having some successes!
Silas continues to be proficient at bubbles with HUGE diameters, bubbles IN bubbles, bubbles ON bubbles. Cora was full of 'oohs' and 'aaahhhhs' at his accomplishments!
Such a blessed way to spend this beautiful afternoon!
