*indicates ones we have already done
Our paper chain was made from junk mail - so essentially free. Owen liked cutting with the paper cutter and taking the chain apart. He did a little putting together and stapling too.
It reached around 1 1/2 walls in our living room.
This was Owen's first time ice skating. It was hard work. He made it around the rink once with a lot of help,
took a break to watch some girls practicing jumps. Watching the big girls fall and practice seemed to re-energize him, and he made two more rounds. A lot of the last one was on his own.
