A Little Totschool Report

Delaney lights up at the chance to "do school" in the school room.  She is only with the big kids and I in the morning and then she heads for a nap after lunch while we work on project time.

These baskets of fruits and veggies are a staple in our tot school day... we play "what's hiding under the basket... sort colors and feed various dolls and stuffed animals.

A little magic coloring... no mess but lots of fun and fine motor skill development.

We went on a field trip to the museum and participated in cave drawing.  By the end and with the addition of red paint Delaney's cave drawing looked like a record of a massacre.

Gymnastics has been a super fun activity for Delaney... she loves being in the class with her friends... and not gonna lie her Minnie Mouse legging are a definite attraction for her.

Monsters!  Delaney loves monsters... She often wants to be called the Gruffalaney and asks if I can see her knobboly knees.  So crafting her own monster was quite thrilling.

What are your tots up to?  

Little things...

I have been taking in the little things as I observe my children daily...

Hudson:
* He remembers things and then incorporates them into his play.  Example: On Tuesday while driving into town we saw a jet in the sky. This morning he was building jets with his Lego and explaining to me where the jet stream comes out...etc.

*He wants you to be involved in the small details.  Example: "Mommy, when I was putting laundry in the washing machine I just picked up the whole pile and jjjjupe put it right in."

*He longs for super powers.  So he has a cape for powers and some BC Lions gloves for power and once in a while his sun glasses are powerful.


Meadow:
* She is paying attention to the world around her and  things are sinking in. Example: When we head to town she asks "Mommy are you going to get a Mocha Latte Supreme from Timmy's?"
"Don't forget daddy's large double double."

*She longs to be beautiful just as much as Hudson longs to be powerful.  Princess dresses and her daddy's adoring compliments make her beam.

*She wants to be part of everything. Every game, trip outside (even if it's just me running to the car),or chore to be done... Meadow wants to be included.

What are the little things you are appreciating (or trying to appreciate) about your children?
