Teaching a Two-Year-Old to Be "Crafty" (Or is he teaching me?)

We're nearly halfway into the "terrible two's," and so far, I'm not finding them to be so terrible. Knock on wood. Sure, Trenton and I have our battles (getting him dressed every morning—that one drives me crazy!), but generally, he is a sweetheart who can usually be reasoned with (although it may take a while).

But one thing I'm looking forward to is him getting old enough for us to broaden our activities/crafts. I had this creative idea for making valentines today, but mostly he was just obsessed with using the glue. (I can't blame him; it was his first time.) My vision of pretty paper hearts decorated with his cute scribbling and hanging with ribbon from a vase full of twigs quickly degenerated to this:



And then, this:


Oh well, someday!
