terrific!

so yesterday, in her usual way, nissa ran around the house doing what she does. she came into the kitchen with adam's green exercise band around her neck, stating she was "terrific." she took me by the hand to the front room and took the other exercise band and suggested "terrific too!" so i followed suit and placed it around my neck. "both terrific" was the verdict. not sure what having a big green rubber band around your neck has to do with being terrific, but i went with it. of course, i had to share my terrific-ness with adam when he came home!

yesterday, nissa went to her first art class with grandma a. it sounds like they had a good time! they did a paper mosaic, played with funky clay (softer than play dough, resistant to drying out, kinda rubbery) that came home too, and colored a picture of buddy and dawn, the dinosaurs from dinosaur train. i really need to look into more pbs shows for nissa. a child cannot live on phineas and ferb alone. we introduced foster's home for imaginary friends, and of course she LOVES bloo. and while that's awesome for us, i feel like i should have something slightly more educational on the table too. we watched a little electric company the other day and nissa seemed to enjoy it- lots of dancing and music, she even started beat boxing during a segment! too awesome.
