I cut out six tracings of Emma's hand and six of Johnny's hand. Then Emma told me what to write on each hand. I was having a hard time explaining the terms thankful and grateful to her, so we settled on things she and Johnny like. Things Johnny liked went on Johnny's hands; those Emma liked went on her hands.
Here's what Emma came up with:
Johnny's handprints:
- Emma
- Dada
- Mama
- Milk
- Baby food
- Cuddles
Emma's handprints:
- Johnny
- Dada
- Mama
- Trees and the leaves that fall down
- Emma's food
- Mama's ring
