Jo, Sophie and Elena decorating cookies.
After an entire pan of cookies had been decorated (not all in the colors of love- I think someone made a St. Patrick's Day cookie and another made one for the 4th of July), we moved to bracelet making. This proved a little advanced for our two-year-olds. So Christy and I made the bracelets while Elena and Sophie eagerly waited to put them on. Jo at this point was crying in a corner with her animals saying, "No. Can't... WON'T!" So Sophie is modeling the bracelet that Jo did not make, did not wear, and continues to loathe entirely:)
And finally they all sat down to make valentines. A little scribble here, a little line there and we have a thoughtful valentine for a cousin or sibling!
Jo loved the cookie making. She was like a machine programed to achieve her quota for the day. But she couldn't handle much of anything else. She made it through about 4 valentines before she was yelling negatives at us all again. But Sophie and Elena enjoyed the party right down to the last second:)
P.S. Sorry Chris- kicked your trash. Kicked it hard.
The party looks like it was a lot of fun. :) Sorry Jo had a freak out. Happy St. Val-Patrick's July!

I miss you guys! We need to hang out. Because I'm getting all sentimental at everyone's posts today :)
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to read your side of the story - I'm surprised that the girls didn't like the bracelet making more. I thought they would have loved it. Oh well - they're cute anyways. And Elena loves hers now. :) Thanks for taking Elena along - you rock!!
Christy- No, Jo will still not wear the bracelet. Surprise, surprise:)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are the coolest Moms. From an outside perspective, I love Jo's little attitude. :)
