I have my 2 year old granddaughter 4 to 5 days a week. After the kids' work hours were cut, they couldn't afford a sitter. Now, we are having a ball! Recently I started sewing while she was awake, and gave her my mother's button box, and some wooden sewing beads and yarn. She tells her mother she is helping Gammy! I had a piece I was at the machine with and I told her she could help by pulling the pins out after I sewed it. She was so proud of herself!! Then I gave her a child's scissor to explore. She couldn't cut a piece of paper but managed to snip two little holes in her pants leg. For some reason I can't find those scissors right now. She likes to play with my scraps and will take bigger pieces of fabric and drape them around herself, like a shawl. There is music on and she will sometimes break out into her happy dance. I am so happy I am able to babysit her!
