Sensory Saturday~Sight

I bet if Addyson could talk she would tell me that for the first few months of her life she thought the only two colors that exited were pink and purple. That's all she ever saw! Pink and purple onesies, toys, blankets, pacifiers (not that she ever used one), pink bedding and nursery walls, and even me. I swear I wore (and sadly Ryan can vouch for me) a different purple HSU t-shirt everyday the first six weeks after she was born. But hey I was a new mom and was proud of myself if I put on jeans instead of pajama bottoms.

But anyways, I thought we would do some color focused learning this week. And one color we don't have a lot of around this house is blue. So today became official 'Blue Day' in the Turner house!

We started out by getting dressed and putting on, what else but blue! No lie, this is the only blue onesie we have. But it's pretty cute on my munchkin :)

Then we had to eat blue. Missy had blueberry yogurt for breakfast, blueberry flavored puffs for snack #1, a blueberry and cherry puree for lunch, and fresh blueberries for snack #2.
And of course we used a blue spoon and blue bib :)
Pointing is our new favorite trick

Play time was also all about the blue. We don't have too many toys this color, but I separated the ones that were and even made a new one for Addy-girl. Yes it's another bottle, but this one isn't a rattle. I just took a plastic bottle filled it with water and added blue food coloring and blue glitter. You could also add a few drops of oil to make a lava lamp effect, but Addyson was just happy with sparkly glitter-water.
Always loves the bottles

We finished the day off with a blue bath. More blue toys and some Crayola bath crayons. Wish they had these when I was little! I think I enjoyed playing with them more than Addyson, but she got pretty good at it after a little while.

God is so good for blessing us with eyes to see all of His beautiful creations and for giving us colors to brighten our world!
