Happy <3 Day
So, it’s Valentines Day. Nothing special. Did some ceramics and bought a few things at WalMart today. Gave Gage a little heart shaped box of chocolates, and since Michael and Madison are going to be here this weekend (along with Gage and Kalina), I got some ceramic eggs for the kids to paint. Got water colors for them to paint with instead of regular acrylic paint — I figured it would be easier to clean up if it gets on the carpet. It’ll also be nice and light and give a “dyed egg” look to the eggs. They can keep their eggs or give them to Grammy to put into a basket for Easter decoration.
For Gage’s class, I got him some Pirates of the Caribbean valentines and special lolipops. They’re Winnie the Pooh Saf-T-Pops, with letters and numbers on them. I thought they’d be really cool for the class, especially since they’re made on dedicated equipment and so they’re not exposed to or made with peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs or wheat gluton. Which basically means that they’re safe for any allergies in his class (there is a peanut allergy) and any special diets (dairy and/or gluton free).
I’m working on putting together a small sensory kit for Gage. Just so he can have some “sensory time” at home. I’ve tried things like rolling him up in a blanket and stuff, he doesn’t seem to dig that. I’d like to get him one of those body sox — I think he’d really enjoy it, but they run about $45. Can’t afford that at the moment. So I got him a special ball, a groan stick and a glitter wand to start. I’m going to get some weighted stuffed animals and perhaps a small weighted blanket soon as well.
Nothing else really going on for <3 day. Although, mom did get me a little bear with a rose and some heart lolipops (she also got stuff for her grandkids), and one of my best friends got me a really cool omelet pan and spatula — the pan is square, so I can also do perfect eggs for fried egg sandwiches. Color me bizarre, but I think that’s a really awesome gift.
