We started our week by baking pretzels on baking day. I substituted whole wheat flour for all of the white flour, since we try to abstain from eating any refined flours or sugars, but the pretzels came out very dense and practically inedible. But, it was a fun activity and Ezra enjoyed the dough as usual!
The weather has been very mild and breezy here, so we brought our art activity outside to the balcony one day. Ezra set up all of his stuffed animal friends in chairs around him.
and while watching the boats go by from our seventh story view....
Ezra drew this masterpiece.
I have been enjoying watching his skills as an artist develop. I was happy to see him make this all by himself without any encouragement from me along the sidelines. This was purely from his will and imagination.
Something else that comes from my sweet boy's own will is to help mama clean the house. Whenever I start doing the floors he runs over and says, "Ezra do it!" I love my little helper.
Ezra asks to paint almost every day. Here are a few of his best creations from this week.
Ezra had his friend Cruz over for a play date and the boys made soup in their aprons. The best play to observe for me is that which imitates real life. They were both offering the other food and saying thank you very much! It was adorable. I wish I had the resources to make a small table and chairs like we had back home. But, we are on a tight budget and don't have all of Michael's tools at our disposal.
Last night the surfers arrived at our little beach down below. We haven't had any surf here so far, and it is fun to see some action down below other than the boats that cruise by.
