Paint and Glitter

Imagine It inspired us to pull out the paint and glitter on the weekend before Elijah started Kindergarten. As I said in my last post, Keira was absolutely enamored with painting, so I definitely wanted to give it a shot at home. While Keira painted, Elijah experimented with glitter. Eventually, he tried his hand at some painting, too.





I savored my last week with both kids and we had a magical time. I was feeling conflicted about Elijah starting Kindergarten. On the one hand, I was excited for him. As I told him, I LOVED elementary school. But, also, I felt like I had finally gotten the hand of being home with both of them. That week we swam at the pool, played and read for hours in the house and obviously painted and played with glitter, too. I even attempted a solo trip to Atlanta with both kids. We went to Trader Joe's. And, surprisingly it went off without a hitch. Elijah was extremely helpful. He held, read, and crossed off the shopping list for me. I was worry about the logistics of the long drive and the long shopping trip. We don't go to Trader Joe's very often and when we do, we STOCK UP. I told Elijah he had the choice of sitting in the back of the shopping cart with groceries piled around and on top of him or walking. He chose the cart and we laughed our way through the store while his pile grew bigger and bigger. He was such a big help.
