messy baby

My quest to try harder at giving Gabriel enriching activities continues.

This time?

Shaving cream + food coloring + bathtub

He watched me mix up the shaving cream and was pretty interested in what I was doing.

And my slow to warm boy responded exactly as expected.

Cautiously.

But he warmed up.

He warmed up so much he ate some. And then used the faucet as a mirror and a hand covered in more shaving cream to try to clean out his mouth. Not so successful.

All in all? Massive success. He loved it. I loved watching him explore with paintbrushes and foam rollers and mixing the colors.

Watching his little brain work and his curiosity and interest be grabbed and pulled in is super fun. Super, super fun.

Clean up isn't too bad either.
