3 New Dresses and a Bunch of Art Supplies

We are now properly stocked for the extended summer camp that we are running for Lola to make sure her potty technique is satisfactory. The washable watercolors are the biggest hit, but I don't think that she is painting in the genre, exactly. Other entertaining things include glitter pens, which actually are mostly color with a little glitter thrown in; bubbles (always golden); and thousands of stickers. (I threw in this list with semicolons for my college students who are blogging for me on different blogspots this summer--some of them have visited this site, I hear.) I also purchased some scissors with rounded ends. She won't be able to use them to make collages, but I can now cut out the pictures she likes without jabbing her fingers in the process. When I've been reading good books to her and doing crafts for several hours, this way of life starts to seem like the most pleasant possible. Perhaps it actually is, but we grown-ups are used to entertaining ourselves in less healthy ways.--K
