Beads and a Train

Lenora and Benjamin have suprised us with some nimble fingerwork. This container is full of beads that can be set on shapes in patterns. The beads are then ironed and melted to form a solid piece. They will sometimes spend a whole hour quietly focused on the task! It has been a great break for Mom and Dad.

For Benjamin's birthday, Dawnette made a cake train. Benjamin practiced blowing out of his mouth all day to get ready for the big moment. Lenora of course was on stand-by to help if his best attempt didn't cut it.
