I have loved it when my little girls discover their bellies. It's so dang cute! Greta loves to lift up her shirt and show us her belly. One day, she was walking around with the bottom of her shirt in her mouth so that she could smack her belly with both hands. I doubt I'll be buying any more onesies. I love seeing Greta's belly as much as she loves to show it to me!

I want to be a more involved parent, especially with my childrens early learning. Crafts and activities for young children don't come naturally to me, so it'll take some work and research. I plan on posting at least once weekly of our Momma Summa School, you know, to keep me accountable. I'm hoping that with time, I may have enough flowing creativity to come up with my own stuff, but until then, the world wide web is full of good crafts and activities. 

Our first craft was to help Holly solidify her shapes. Sometimes she still mixes them up, even though she knows them. I cut a whole bunch of shapes out of color construction paper. We mixed them up and then sorted them into piles. And then Holly pasted them onto a sheet of paper. She loved using the glue stick and she layered those shapes like crazy! When she had pasted all of her shapes, she flipped her sheet of paper over and requested more! I was happy to oblige. I also glued some shapes on popsicle sticks so I could quiz her. Holly quizzed me a few times too and she loved it, especially when I faked wrong answers. Greta colored shapes, her tray, her pants and her body with markers and was happy as a clam. All in all, we spent almost an hour working with our shapes. It was wonderful and I felt like such a great Momma!

Obviously, I had to catch some pictures of Kelly with Tessa and some pictures of just Tessa. They're quite the little pair. We all love Tessa! Greta can say Tessa's name, although it sounds like "Deya." Tessa has so much depth to her personality. She's a wonderful, imaginative, energetic little girl.

Kelly is one of my closet friends here in California. I love talking creative ventures with her - she is an amazing artist! Kelly is one of the most generous and sincere people I know and has done so much for me. It was so nice to do something for her, even if it was a crazy morning! We have daughters who are 2 days apart and they have a love/hate relationship especially when it comes to princess dresses! 

Kelly, I hope you see how beautiful you are in these pictures. You are so much more than pretty.
