Making a Necklace

Making a necklace

I want you to please notice what is going on here.  First off, she spent nearly an hour cutting apart old hair rubber bands, the kind that has a metal clip in the middle and a bead on either side of the resulting "8."  This is her 2nd necklace of the day.  The first one ended up being too short- it fit nicely on top of her head, and she decided it was a halo.  She needed ANOTHER necklace to dress up like an angel.

Please notice that she has sorted all the beads by type, and then strung them in pairs.  They were NOT in pairs when she started, it was a huge pile of beads on the floor.

What was Mimi doing while all this was happening?  Running around singing at the top of her lungs, playing with a string she found.  Happy as a lark.

My goodness.  I think we can end part of the nature vs. nurture discussion right there!

  1. E, you make me giggle! I think if I were there I would have done some very similar sorting. :-) Sure do love you girls. Here's wishing Mommy has worked herself into labor.
