Busy Girl

This happens almost every time Jillian comes for the day to Grannie's home. She must do everything right away. First: She grabs the crayons and we color for perhaps 5 minutes. Then she's on to the Magnadoodle for another 5 minutes (She'll do this later for quite awhile.) Then on to the kitchen to play with clay for another 5 minutes. That usually consists of her getting all three colors out of their containers and tearing them into pieces. Then she wants to fingerpaint and that takes awhile to set up-longer than the actual fingerpaint time-10 minutes total. Then she grabs a shopping bag, plus she needs her baby, keys, and backpack so she can go shop downstairs. But once there she is distracted and needs to write on the chalkboard. Then after playing with everything there and leaving her backpack, keys, and baby there she is off back upstairs to get the doll house out and we play babies. This gets boring in about 5 minutes and then she bugs Papa into playing Starfall on the computer. So far this is how the first hour goes!!! Thank goodness that by now she has calmed down and will then sit and play with her toys for much longer-usually repeating what we have already done in more depth or wanting to read.
