Our Cherry Blossom Popcorn Tree

Oliver had a wonderful Thursday with Mommy! We woke up and then made our way to the Y. We went on a tour of the preschool together. Oliver loved it and didn't want to leave! He will fit in wonderfully! (We just need to make sure he is potty trained! We will be working on it!) After we took the tour- he talks about the classrooms and his favorite parts! He went to play and Mommy went to exercise. Then we hung out at the Lego table and played, it was really nice. We made our way home after a couple of errands and took a nice rest on the little couch. We played all afternoon and then did an art project together.
First we went outside and took a picture and investigated the cherry blossom tree that Daddy planted. We looked at the pretty flowers and the small cherries. Then we came inside to make our own on paper with popcorn! We got our new Tomie Depoala popcorn book that we've been reading, then made popcorn together on the stove (that is how we always make it!), then we glued it on the tree that we drew and cut out together. It was so much fun! (We made tons of connections with nature, popcorn, art......it was awesome!)
After our project we ate dinner, took a bath, brushed our teeth, did our stickers and now Oliver is sleeping. It was a great day!
