Rice Play

The wind has settled down a bit. It's been so windy - I've been watching birds being blown over my roof as they are trying to fly.

It was a nice morning to go out on our balcony. We had some paper and rice. With the rice we made pictures - just a bit of fun with texture and form. The boys played with the rice through their little fingers, changing shapes, just letting their little fingers go where they want to go on the paper.

Lou got a bit excited - after a little while rice was going everywhere (LOL good fun :) ). And of course he, like most 2 year olds, couldn't help himself and had to have a nibble on the rice. He wasn't too keen on the uncooked rice which he spat out quickly. :)

His big brother was more gentle with the rice, making creatures and talking about what we saw in the picture. It was like looking at clouds and how we see shapes and forms. :) And like the forms that we see in the clouds, they're not permanent either......

..... just enjoying the moment.
