R is for Rainbows

 A rainbow snack.  Is there a better way to eat the rainbow?

 I made Kate a rainbow scope by coloring rainbow stripes on a sandwich bag and attaching it to the end of a cup.

Seeing the world in rainbows is pretty cool!

Kate loves the rainbows that dance around the kitchen each morning thanks to this gadget and the sun.

The grand finale was rainbow foam in the water table.  Kate was a whole different child with the rainbow foam this time.  She thoroughly enjoyed the sensory aspect.  It was fun watching her experience it this way.

R is for Rockets

Kate decorated her very own rocket ship.  She spent a lot of time in her rocket that day.

Here is Kate wearing her space helmet:

I tried to simulate a rocket blast off for Kate.  Ha!  Well, not really, but I gave her a little ride in her rocket.  I kept counting backwards and saying "Blast Off", but she thought the backwards counting was so weird, so when it was her turn to count before the blast off, she counted forward.  So cute.  

Here are two cute rocket ship videos of Kate:

Boo was interested in space travel too!  He may have also been interested in the crumbs Kate left in the rocket.

We had a lot of fun with Stomp Rockets.  Very cool toy.  It was drizzling, and we still played with it for about an hour.

 Let's just call her an Astronaut Princess.

The rockets flew so high that we now have one stuck in a tree, and two up on the roof; I'm hoping for a little wind to send them back to the ground.

Here is a little video of them in action:

The rockets theme was great fun!  We are sticking with the letter R for one more week so that we can have some rainbow fun!

Red Rectangle R

You can hardly see the letter "R" but it's under there.
