M says "mmm," as in making messes with macaroni. Justin gets full credit for coming up with our letter M craft, which was a big hit with our young craft-lover. As she placed each individual macaroni noodle onto the plate with care, she told me it was "mmm...yummy. M says mmm!" (Toward the end, she realized that the pasta was only sticking to the M that I had painted with glue, so she decided it was much easier just to dump the bowl of pasta onto the plate and shake off the ones that didn't stick. She's a problem solver.)I made her brainstorm for a while to think of a few other words that start with the letter M, and she came up with mommy and little mouse (as in "goodnight little mouse" from Goodnight Moon).
We even managed to incorporate some ever-popular glitter into this craft, sparkling up a cardboard fork to go along with her crafty pasta dinner. I have a love-hate relationship with glitter. Today, in moderation, I loved it. And more importantly, so did Abby.
