P Week

 P week was crazy busy!! We had a house full of people. Gram, PawPaw and GiGi were here from Florida. We tried to keep up with activities as much as we could. 



He painted a P. It didn't stay this neat though. He began painting with his hands and them somehow ended up getting it in his hair. He had blue bangs until his bath. 



P for Pancake was fun. He ate several pancakes that morning. 


He had a picnic with PawPaw and Gram. Complete with P food. Peanut butter and Jelly, Pizza and Pickles. Yes it's quite the variety of food but that's what it took to get him to eat was to keep offering him things off our plates (the pizza and pickles). 

The hide and seek was fun this week. I put it in a plastic pumpkin and found all the P objects I could, pony, pasta, pig, pink, P's. Gram and Gigi helped with this. 

One fun thing that we got to do was open a package from Uncle Kirk, Aunt Aimee and Trip. It had so many fun things in it! It was a package what will continue to be fun. He also got a few post cards in the mail. 



Over the weekend after the fam left Gary and I went to Iowa for a sponsor event for Hallowed Ground Outdoors so Coop got to stay with Papaw and Mamaw. He had a great time as usual. They said he ate them out of house and home. I don't have any pictures from this past weekend of him with them but they shared some from their last trip to the zoo. It was fun that he stayed with them during P week since it was Papaw and Parker was there too. 


Hope you're having a great week. Go paint something and get messy!


Bonus pictures I had to share:



 Look closely… he was playing with my eyeshadow! At least he didn't put it on his eyes. He was playing with the little brush so it was soft on his face. I'll keep telling myself that at least. 

O Week

It's been busy in the Hamilton house so I'll split the last two weeks into 2 different posts so I don't overwhelm you. 

For O week we did some fun things. 

We went to the library for Cooper's first story hour. He did very well. He didn't want to sit on his carpet square for long, he sat on my lap. But we had fun regardless. We checked out his first books, that happened to have an O theme. They were both really cute books about Oceans and a fun squid.


The story hour books were about sheep so we made sheep ears during craft time.


After doing our shopping for some O food we decorated an O. I did splurge more for O food than I normally would but it was fun. We decorated the O with fruity Cheerios.  As you can see he enjoyed eating them. He kept saying "I eat it? Tastes like candy!" 


Working hard on decorating the O.


O food was fun! I made this owl out of bread and peanut butter, bananas, raisins, pineapple, the treats were the chocolate chip centers in the eyes and it's nose was half of an oreo. 


He had a good time dissecting the owl as he ate it. 



He got to paint with Oranges. Orange prints were fun and a little messy but he had a good time. Anytime the paint comes out he enjoys it!
I didn't do the hide and seek bag this week because I didn't have a lot of O objects to hide but honestly he picked up O quicker than any letter that we've done thus far so the lack of time and lack of O objects didn't effect him too much. We also fit in a trip to Orschlen with Bapa. AKA the chicken store, so it could have fit in last week as well but the wrong C sound for this activity so far.  I didn't take pictures of everything that we did but you get the idea and can see that he's having a great time with the letters!

Hope you're having a great week!
