Bedtime, Sensory play, and Rebekah's dress

We got to bathe Hyrum for the first time on Wednesday. He loves the bath. He was happy the whole time and smiled a lot. It was fun to bathe my baby.Like his bald spot? He's trying to look like his Daddy from the start.



Time to brush teeth!

And now for the sensory play
Corn meal in bowls with spoon, and measuring cups.Oh, and don't forget Becka's favorite toy, a milk jug.This was very therapeutic for Brigham. Earlier in the day he had visits with his birth parents, and I think he was bothered by the visits. When I got out this sensory activity he plopped down and was in another world for about 20 minutes. (I'm sure you saw this coming) Then, they dumped the bowls. They were both covered in corn meal. Luckily it was bath night.


Rebekah's dress
Rebekah's Great Aunt Shirlene made this dress many years ago for us when we had a daughter, and now it's finally able to be put to use. (At least for a few months.)
Isn't it gorgeous? Thanks Aunt Shirlene!
She looks good in it too.

  3. Maybe I just missed it, but I'm wondering what their "story" is...they are all brothers and sisters, right? How is it going from no kids to 3 kids so fast! What a blessing! I have loved reading about your family!

  4. You look so cute bathing your baby! Yay! Is "sensory play" something they teach you to do when you are in the early childhood education program? I can understand the basic idea of what you were having them do, but I've never heard it called anything.
