happy VALENTINE'S day

Today was Blue's first official Valentine's Day where he made himself a box and handed out Valentine's to all his little friends at school. I wanted him to help me make them so we broke the tasks down into several afternoons - first leaf gathering, then leaf gluing and marker fun, and then button making. He actually was quite helpful and engaged!

  

And he really liked the fact that we created a whole new accessory category for his daily outfits. Buttons! He wanted to be sure everyone was wearing one.

PS - Have I mentioned on here Blue's daily wardrobe essentials? It is hard to say which item ranks highest in priority order but his daily requests are blue jeans, cowboy boots, a jacket, and a hat.
