Since we’ve returned from Chicago, I’ve been introducing Alice to the joys of scotch tape. We spent quite a long time Sunday and Monday evening with me handing Alice strip after strip of tape for her to apply to a piece of paper. She quite enjoyed it, except for those times when the tape wouldn’t behave as she wanted. Alice would fling her little arm around, trying to dislodge the tape. But if I tried to help, she’d say “no!” and snatch the tape back from me because it was her tape.
We played with some stickers as well, some of which Alice put on the paper, some she put in her hair and some she put in Daddy’s hair (although Dad wasn’t allowed to remove those, since they were still Alice’s stickers — apparently Dad’s hair was simply a handy storage location for them).
P.S. I also found out that my new laptop is light enough for Alice to easily pick up and wave around. So portability has its downside.
