Patty, my parent educator, came for her monthly visit yesterday. (Monthly visit... that sounds so wrong. Hehe!) The activity she brought this time was a "Pat Mat." It is a gallon size Ziploc bag filled with water and colorful items that float. She, then, put duct tape over the zippered part (even thought she said that she usually puts the tape around all of the edges, but she was running late that day). The one she made had not quite enough water in it to allow the items to float, but it was still a cute idea for this momma. Also, if it gets a hole in it, there is only water in it so nothing toxic! Clara LOVED seeing the bright objects, so I am going to make another one for her in the future.

| Here is the "Pat Mat" even though I forgot to get a picture of Clara playing with it. |
Other than that, she just checked to make sure that Clara is hitting all of her milestones (which she is). And, we will also be hearing from the Parents as Teachers nurse so that Clara can get her hearing and sight checked before the end of the month. All in all, it was a great visit yet again! I'm SO glad that I decided to do this program.
Here is my first post about PAT if you would like more information!
Also, since you are reading this, please look on the right hand side of this page for a poll on what I should have Clara try eating next. Look for a post on Monday to find out what she tried!
