If you’ve been reading my blog for a year or two, then you may remember that I’ve been part of making several baby quilts (here’s Anne’s, Steph’s, Betsy’s, and Heather’s). Those four women surprised us with a Busy Book for Mark, which Ellie has decided really belongs to her. We love it – it’s made from felt (except for the cover) and has so many fun activities.
Ellie loves to carry it around:
The cover (made by Anne) has adorable bees:
Ellie’s current favorite page is the barn with the sheep, chicken, and pig. Every time she’s finished playing with it, they have to go back into the barn, “to nap”.
the chicken, for your inspection (with the barn on the floor in the background)
Thank you so much, my friends! It has already kept Ellie busy many times when I really needed the help. Hopefully Ellie will let Mark play with it when he gets big enough!
That’s wonderful!
