While charlotte was napping,  I was trying to think of things to do with her on this Memorial Day. The sensory bottle was a hit so I ventured into rice play.

Simple concept, big fun. Find a box, fill it with raw rice and some scooping toys and let the kid have at it.

I never felt such immediate regret as the moment when she discovered that not only could her chubby little hands scoop the rice….but also hurl it across the room.

Of course, I was distracted by taking pictures and video…so I thought I’d move her to the high chair with the rice.

I spread the rice all over the tray, gave her the toys…the toys hit the floor immediately and she then …well…you’ll see.

She let out the biggest laugh/squeal as I stopped filming due to the waterfall of rice hitting  the floor and bounce off of Otis.

She had fun so it wasn’t so bad after all.
