Father's Day Project

Logan and I made Father's Day stepping stones. What a challenging project with a one year old who doesn't like to have dirty hands! While I mixed the cement and layed it in the molds, Logan played in the water and his pool. When it came time to stick his hands in the mold of cement, he was having no part of it. So I patiently tried over and over until we were both covered in cement and had to take a shower. I ended up decorating the stones and writing "I Love You" with the intentions that we would dip Logan's hands in paint and get his handprint on the stepping stones that way. So the next night I tried using the paint, Logan was still very resistant to putting his hands in the paint and placing them on the stones. I ended up covered in paint, again we headed to the shower without completing the project. On Father's Day the stepping stones were not done, so we took them to the grandparents half finished and they helped Logan put his hand in the paint and get a handprint. We had one for Brian, but never got to it. So we are going to make it a birthday tradition for daddy. We think it will be so great to having stepping stones in our yards and parent's yards of the kid's handprints through the years.
