Grace's "Bean Box"

Grace asked to play with her "bean box" this morning, which is a Tupperware bin filled with different sizes, shapes, & colors of beans. I put various cups, funnels, and spoons in the box so Grace can enjoy scooping, pouring, filling, and emptying. Grace also loves to hide her tiny animals in the beans and search for them.
Grace wanted the full sensory experience of her bean box today so she climbed right in!!! Grace loves the feel of the beans on her hands and in between her toes. Grace then went on a bean box ride while she was still inside the box, which consisted of me pushing her around our porch. What a fun morning we had!

Whata great idea Mommy! Rebecca does an amazing job with Grace every day. She spends all her waking minutes thinking of ways to share learning experiences with Grace - and they are always so original and fun that Gracie Girl thinks it is all play.

I am so proud of what an amazing Mom Rebecca is and what an incredible ability Grace has to comprehend and retain new nowledge.

I can't wait to jump in the bead bin fora ride when I get home.

I love the Bean Bin!

Now, that is just the thing to excite any child. But, knowing Grace, like we all do she had to put her own creative flair into playing with the beans. Grace, everyday with you is more fun than a barrel of monkeys or a bin of beans! Love the bean bin....did Daddy get a ride yet?
Can't wait to see what the weekend brings,
Love, Maddy

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
