summer boredom...

The following are on Layla's list of things to do when she is bored and when I won't let her watch TV:

color
write letters to her family
write in her "diary" (she scribbles like she is writing in cursive)
play princess make-up
put on a play
play mother to her babies
listen to princess songs on our ihome
play on the computer at pbskids.com 

And lately we have been mildly obsessed with a fun thing on Disney's website:



You can design you own fairy and give them awesome names and addresses like Layla's latest:


I do it with Layla--of course--but it's actually kind of fun for me too. When you are done designing your fairy, you can make up her hobbies, favorite foods and flowers, favorite color, etc. Layla just cracks me up with her creativity and certainty ("Mom, why would Ruby Greendance like roses? We all know that daisies are her favorite flower"---duh!).

Give it a try!
