This past week was all about the color Blue for Mini Piwi
(and Ladybugs, but we will get to that in a minute). We started off
with a Blue hunt and collected every blue toy and (toddler friendly)
item we could find around the house. Miss K even thought of including
our 'Blues Clues' books which was a good thing because Mini Piwi
carried these around for most of the week. She was also super excited
to discover Donald the duck wore blue and he also joined any outings we
had.
We went on a hunt for blue toys and Mini Piwi used them to make a 'club house' for her Mickey mouse friends.
Impromptu Lady Bug Tot book
The lady bugs were an impromptu theme this week after the Piwi's found a Ladybug with an injured leg at the park. I tried to reason that we probably couldn't help it. The Piwis insisted and we took her home on a leaf. This prompted a web search of how to make a habitat and what to feed 'Orange' the Ladybug. Miss K's plan was to let her recuperate. I wasn't very good at hunting for aphids/green bugs so we made do with the suggested moistened raisins.

The Piwis got busy with a Ladybug tot book. The tot book was not only fun but also distracted Mini Piwienough that she gave up asking to nap with the Ladybug.
I loved that the Piwis to worked together on this! I even got a bit teary when I saw them running together to show Daddy piwi their project.
Once again my precious Piwis showed me that as adults we don't know it all, because by the next day Orange was walking well again and ready to be released!
