Jaxon makes fruit salad

Hello everyone, I have decided to start a blog! It makes me sad that many of the important people in Jaxons life are so far away. With the delightful addition to our growing family coming soon, I don't want any of you to miss out on being able to watch them develop and grow.

Starting Monday, I am going to start adding a daily art project and one other creative activity to our daily routine. The other day Jaxon and I made fruit salad. He seemed to really enjoy it! I began the project right after a filling breakfast in hopes that maybe he wouldn't devour all the fruit during the prep, but no such luck, fruit is just too tempting for Jaxon. He did well though, I had to help him angle the toddler knife so that it was cutting the fruit and not just smashing it. It was a huge success of which I let Jaxon ONLY enjoy the salad since many of the pieces ended up in his mouth first, before they went into the fruit bowl.

Today he painted with different textured paint rollers. I let him choose the colors, he chose black and green and I added some yellow. After he got bored with the rollers I let him use one of his trucks to make truck tracks. He found GREAT joy it that!!

Hope you enjoy the pics!!
