A few Saturday's ago we went to Home Depot to get some stuff. When we were walking around the store, Sydney kept asking what all that noise was. Naturally, I came up with some random explanation about the workers hammering in the back. Imagine my surprise when we turned a corner and found a whole bunch of kids were actually the ones hammering! Of course, Sydney wanted in on the action, so even though the kid's workshop said it was for ages 5 and up... it seemed simple enough and there were other younger kids participating. Sydney and Andy got to make a pencil box for her colored pencils while I played camera person and cheerleader. It was Sydney's first experience with nails, hammering, paint, and glue! She had a ton of fun. I think most Home Depot's hold kid's workshops for free in the morning the first Saturday of every month. We have it written on our calendar and definitely plan on going every month. It's so fun to see her start to make her own creations and be proud of them :). Plus the cute little apron they gave her to bring each time she comes is adorable and really handy at home as well!
I also have to point out Sydney's oufit. Making her wear matching clothes is not one of the battles we have chosen to fight, so most days she'll agree with what we choose, but when she doesn't we just let it go unless we have to go to church. This particular day she has on a pink turtleneck with jeans, no shoes, and a princess dress over it all to top it off. What a stylin' little girl :D
How fun that they do that! I can't wait to see her projects each month! :)
ReplyDeleteHuh, who knew Home Depot could be so much fun?
ReplyDeleteand the clothes, yes good choice not to battle it, and it becomes daily entertainment as the years go on, so enjoy :-)
