Morgan has become independent lately. She woke up this morning saying she wanted a drink, but she wanted to pour it. I put the juice into a cup for her to pour into her own cup (instead of her pouring from a full bottle)... Well, she filled her cup with juice without spilling... Except, she didn't stop pouring once the cup was full!!!!! Juice went every where, and Morgan was upset because she thought she was doing a good job. I decided that she needed to get some practice with other things that won't be so hard to clean up. I made a tray of baby lima beans for Jaden & Morgan. Then, I gave them a couple of things to use: cups, liquid measuring cup (the one that has a spout), and funnels. They loved it!! This is actually a Montessori exercise (yes, I took classes to become a Montessori preschool teacher). When they get good at the beans, you can move to rice, sand, and water.
