MOON SAND

I will post Pictures later when I remember my camera cord!!!!

Moon Sand-

Let me tell you about how I feel about Moon Sand!!!

Last April for Alan's Birthday Aunt Kimmy bought him Moon Sand. Yes I loved the Idea, thinking it would be a fun thing to play with OUTDOORS at Grandmas or something. However, I was kind of mean and "hid" I mean put it away in his closet. Well recently they have been showing a TON of commercials for moon sand on TV.... moon sand, moon sand- look what you can make.... in case you needed to know. Alan seemed to LOVE moon sand from the commercials- Thats what he wanted from santa! So I ask him what he could "do" or give up to get "moon sand". And by "get"- I mean I find it in the closet... So he tells me he will finally get rid of the bottle and go to the sippy tops! (If you don't know that has been a huge problem from birth)- So I agree with him.

Fast forward to after 4 nights of no "bottle" he asks me again about moon sand. I figure OK- I will be in the kitchen making dinner anyways, maybe he will be distracted with it and I could make dinner without him digging in the butter, or trying to "help" me cook. So I did it- I got out the MOON SAND!!!! His eyes lit up, and he was so happy! He played with his moon sand for almost a 1/2 hour before he was bored with it. I loved that it entertained him and i know I know he needs to be creative.... but you should see the MESS MOON SAND leaves behind....

It looks like I had a green sand fight in my dining area.... and if you are not familiar with moon sand- it is sand that is kind of sticky (think of sandy play-dough). Not real stick, but a little sticky. Every where Alan tried to not step in it but he did is now stuck in my carpet because the vacuum didn't pick it up. Maybe after Thanksgiving I will have time to scrub the sand out of the carpet!

Well if you have listened this far- thank you for listening. Really Moon Sand is a pretty cool thing.. I am just amazed at myself that I actually let him play with it. And Yes Aunt Kimmy- Emma can play with moon sand anytime she wants!! I also think every child in America should have MOON Sand for Christmas!!!
