Piñata Birthday

For my third birthday party I asked for a piñata as well as a piñata cake. This is what my mama and I came up with…

The inside of each cupcake was a colorful surprise just like the surprises inside a real piñata!

Guess Who? Cut-Paper Art

It’s me! My mama made this cut-paper art when I was 18 months old. Finally, a year and a half later, she finished them, framed them and hung them on the wall in my very own room.

Mama did cheat a little bit to get these looking just right. She chose a couple of simple photographs of me, enlarged them, and printed them. Then she traced just the very basic lines of the photo onto colored cardstock, cut out the simple shapes that were traced, and put them together like a puzzle.

Ladybug Toenails

Summer is ending, but mama and I thought we'd paint our toenails one last time.

First we painted my toes red and then we drew on black dots with a permanent marker. It was a lot easier than making black nail-polish dots with a pinhead...especially since I have a hard time waiting for nail polish to dry.
