Y3W: Fun with Jello
Addison has a new obsession. TEXTURE! She loves to touch and explore the entire environment around her, but is especially enthralled with the texture of everything. The first thing she does when she has something new is feel it. It is REALLY cute the way she does it too. First she gets this intense and very concentrated look on her face, and then she very carefully runs her fingers along the new surface, exploring every little bump, dip, embellishment, or crevice. Next comes the scratch test, where she keeps the concentrated expression but puts both hands on the surface and starts scratching it. I guess it takes both methods to truely learn the texture. It is so funny and so interesting to watch.
Her favorite texture right now is satin. She loves to run the satin lining on her blankets through her hands and up around her face before she falls asleep. There are different types of satin on each of her blankets and her favorite is the black satin on her paris blanket.
So I want to develop her senses and am always trying to think of ways to help her learn and discover new things, but she makes it a little difficult for me because everything has to be edible. My first thought was finger painting, but since she'll eat that, I thought I' d make her her own jello. Here's what happened with the jello experiment:
She is so adorable! I haven't tried jello yet, will have to do that. Addison loves pudding and yogurt to play in. But geez is it messy:)
