Skills

Jay and I have been honing our skills this week. Jay is now a pro at sitting up from his tummy and clapping his hands. I am still a pro at making forts out of blankets (20 years of practice). And, I got a few ideas about homemade cards last time I was at Joann's craft store, so I attempted to make a cute thank you card for my mom... it was a LOT harder than I thought it would be! But I was pleased with how it turned out in the end. I hope you've already gotten it in the mail, Mom, or else the surprise is now ruined...

Trying to get out of the fort

Jay's fun fort!

Here's the finished product of my first attempt at a "paper-craft" style card.


And last but not least, here's a little video of Jay's latest skills in action. It's always tricky getting him to perform in 30 seconds or less, but he managed it in the end, and then he started attacking the camera!

I love the card! Good job using those creative skills of yours. And what a fun idea to build a fort. You are such a great mom.
