When Toddlers Develop Their Sense of Smell

Ahh...the smell of Playdoh!  You just can't beat it, and I don't know anyone who can't recall it!  The first thing that I want to do when I see a container of the squishy stuff, is smell it.  Now that I get to play with it again with my grandson, we're both delighting in it's enticing aroma, especially since Jude is beginning to recognize different smells.  Next up...freshly baked, chocolate- chip cookies!  (Nestles, of course!)
Best,
Bubbie and Jude

Multi-Tasking

When I multi-task, it usually consists of talking on the phone, paying a bill, and probably downing a bag of chocolate Kisses, all at the same time.  I'm pretty proud of myself when I do this!  For little ones, the process moves slightly to the left!  As long as they're touching some things with most body parts, while using their mouths to blow raspberries, or making unrecognizable sounds too, they're multi-tasking!  They may not look like they're accomplishing much of anything, but they're getting a lot done!  Using their creative and inquisitive minds, they're exploring the world around them using their five senses. I'd love to think outside the box like they do, and wouldn't mind stepping inside a few, too!   
Here's to exercising our minds,
Bubbie
P.S.  How does your grandchild or child help you challenge your brain?
