The outdoor room

Our new house an outdoor room off the dining room and main living area (one of my favorite features of the house). It is a beautiful room and perfect for Seattle weather!  We used it for the first time yesterday.  We turned the fireplace on, spread out a picnic blanket Solly got as a baby present (thanks Melinda and Katie!), and filled a container with rice--the perfect messy activity for an outdoor room!

  Jane LOVED it!  I'm trying to do more sensory activities with her because they get her talking (and she has a great time!).
"HUH!?!"  We hid some plastic animals in the rice and Jane had to dig to find them.
Solomon was unimpressed with the activity...
 ...and soon fell asleep.  Jane said Solly can play rice when he's bigger.
