Snuggle time with Erik (aka - "Bubba")

I recently purchased a wonderful book called Slow and Steady Get Me Ready by June R. Oberlander. It is a book that has weekly activites for your childs development from birth - age 5. It is a great book and we have been having fun with it. This is an activity from Age 2 week 27. We made a life size paper doll of Jamie-Lynn and she played dress-up with her. The learning goal was for Jamie to learn to dress her self. She had so much fun with this all week. In one picture below you see Jamie having tea with her paper doll.
