The new edible classroom

The Greensboro Children's Museum just added an edible classroom to their many other interesting exhibibts. We went to the opening ceremony and Oliver got to ride a tractor, make a medallion and plant spinach seeds. There were a lot of different vegetables planted in the garden there.


Since the last time we were there they also added a new train exhibit. Oliver liked that a lot. He didn't really want to go look at the garden once he saw it. There's a hole in the engine compartment where you can shovel big fake coal pieces. There's also a conducters hat. It was extra busy because of the ceremony so we didn't get a lot of pictures OR a lot of turns.

Our latest craft project

We had tiny sodas as a treat then we put water and beads and ribbon and glitter in them to make a new toy. Oliver had lots of fun putting things in his bottle. I also tried to incorporate learning about recycling/reusing. Either way, they love these things!

following the exploits of the locavores...

http://locavoremakeoverproject.blogspot.com/

I saw this article in the Gso news and record. I was interested so now I'm following these families to see how they do eating local, seasonal food for one year. I think it will be easier than they anticipate. I might try doing this at some point but right now is crazy so I'll stick with my current mix.

I made for dinner tonight:

(local) pasta (purchased at the Farmer's Market, made in colfax, nc) topped with Ragu (obviously not local) mixed with squash and zuccini (from the farmer's market). We had a side of cherry tomatoes from a friends garden.

The boys ate it up! I did, too. it was so yummy! I might try to go to the farmer's market once a week from now on. We had also gotten some sweet potatoes that I made fries with and everyone loved those, too.

Wyatt potty...

Yesterday morning when we woke up I went to the bathroom just like usual and Wyatt followed me just like he always does. When we got in there, though, he pointed to Oliver's little potty and then sat on it. Well, he's peed in it a few times and pooped once so I stripped him down and put him on it. He peed right away! I decided since I had to go out and get diapers anyway that it might be time for his own potty. He picked out this one. We brought it home and he sat on it again and peed right away (he was still dry!) and then pooped in it, too. After our nap he did it again. That's 3 times in a day! He sat on it twice more but was clothed and I'm sure he peed when he sat because he was dry before and when I got him up he was wet. I tried a few more times before bed but he only sat there, no pee. I'm ok with this because he's so young but he really likes sitting on the potty!
He did pee again today when he first woke up but only a little bit. We'll keep trying!
HOOOORAY, WYATT!!!

Wyatt playing with Bella

They were so cute together. This is the first time Wyatt has gotten to play with someone close to his own age so he had a great time!



What a good sharer!!
