Marble Madness

While in NC over President's Day weekend, Grandma treated us to a fun morning at the Marbles children's museum.  All this exercise, on top of not enough sleep, tuckered everyone out fast.  The sign of a perfect outing!

Rule of Three

For Eliza's Goldilocks / Curlylocks party we played 3 games:

The "Go out of the room and see if you can tell which of the 20 objects we've moved" Game
(kind of like how the 3 Bears noticed differences when they got home)

Musical Chairs
(Because Goldilocks liked to sit in different chairs, and this game is a good way to break one)

The "Talk in a funny voice and see if the person can guess who said 'Happy Birthday'" Game
(Because Eliza can talk in a funny bear voice when she tells Goldilocks)

Then we did presents, candles, cake, etc.

Storytime with Curlylocks

Eliza's two favorite stories are "The Three Little Pigs" and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."  While she enjoys looking at the pictures, no books are necessary for the many re-tellings that often fill our day.  We tell the story in the car, in the bathroom, in the store, etc.  In fact, due to her heavy interest, we decided to theme her 3rd birthday around Goldilocks.

Through all of this, she has become very skilled at telling these stories all by herself.  So, pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, and enjoy a little storytime with Curlylocks.
