Baby Inventor

The Lone Star Baby made a ring for me. She figured out that those little links of chain like metal beads have closures when she found one and she put a pink plastic bead (yes, they are everywhere - she is still finding beads in the house) on one and closed it in a circle for me. I love it.

She received a game of Pick up Sticks in her Easter basket and had designed her own version and got us to play it with her that night. She got two medicine cups and filled one with the removable top pieces of some cheap plastic bunny rings that had been egg-fillers and one with the ring parts of them. Then we had to try to draw one of the tops without moving the other tops in the cup (which was hard in that little cup) and if we succeeded, we got the ring part to attach to the top. My four-year-old has some pretty cool ideas.
