Feeeeelings whoa whoa whoa feeeeelings...

We have recently read the feelings book by Jamie Lee Curtis and the kids love it!! They especially love the face in the back of the book. It allows you to change the feelings. I've seen flashcards and posters of feelings to help kids express themselves and wanted to buy one but wasn't sure I would actually have use for it much longer. The other day JB told me "I'm I'm just fwustrated Mom." So I think he gets the fact that he can verbally express his feelings vs. letting them pour out by screaming/shouting or hitting.

Last month, towards the beginning of the month, I took some pictures of the kids. Very unusual I know! :) Well, HC began saying "Take this picture Mom. What about this one?" She was going from pose to pose to pose. It cracked me up!! I took many of her but later on I thought about getting her to make feelings poses. So here is what we did:
This is happy.This one is mad.
This one is sad.
This one is angry.
This one is really really angry.
Of course JB HAD to try too!! Here is JB's happy shot.
Here is mad.
Here is sad.
Here is angry.
Here is mad again.

This was SOOOOO hilarious because HC kept coaching JB on his expressions!! We had a ton of fun doing this! JB just forgets to look at me. He often performed with his back to me! I think my kids get their feelings!! haha
