We got some new rainy day activities lately with the new birthday gifts. Andy got this UPS package on Friday night from my friends Chris and Juliana: a box of wooden puzzles! He got really into it right away: started working on them before dinner and more this morning (new rainy day activity).
He likes to stand in the puzzle's wooden box when doing the puzzles. One of them proves to be challenging: the kite, since it has 4 triangles that you have to oriented them all correctly.
We also got into Tiffany's play doh and one of the "Ni Hao MuLan" DVDs today. Andy loves playing with the doh and playing house using the things made from the doh. I made a little chair, a big baby, bowl of fruits, a duck, etc. He served "food" to the "baby", pretended to eat the "fruits", and made his own little figurines. I was amazed by how long Andy was completely captivated by the graphics and sounds (maybe partially due he hasn't watched any TV other than Yoga before): close to half an hour! I like the program not only teaches the language but also some ideas. For example, the "China trip" episode we watched today encourages to be open and try out new things.
He's also been walking around buzzing with the new Geo Track train head. Playing with the tracks and train has become a new part of the bed time routine.
Will have to shoot more pictures to update...
