March Fun

 

Hey Y'all! :) I hope you all had a great weekend. It was so pretty here! It usually is too cold, too windy, or too foggy sometimes to do anything involving water but this weekend was gorgeous! So we bought B a sprinkler and water guns. This is him on Sunday totally loving life.



Then today it was so nice again we had to take a trip to the beach! So off we went with Granny G. It was so pretty and B loved it!

B's Craiglist Score


J found a sweet deal on a train table this morning. So him and B went to look it at. We now have a huge train table in middle of the playroom. He LOVES it. Look at those smiles. It can stay anywhere he wants if he flashes those cute little smiles my way. We are going to move it into his room once we move one of his dressers into Ryan's new room.

I started a new craft blog today. I haven't done any posts yet but I will be sure to link it up when it's ready for visitors. I have been doing some crafts and I wanted to share how I did them. Be sure to look for it soon:)

Happy Saturday.

Sorry B mommy is bored.

B started school today. In his playroom. I've been so inspired by all the pinterest stuff I see on "toddler" education one of my goals this year was to actually do it. SO B's learning corner was started. I'm trying to plan all my lessons out way in adavance and put them in file folders so it's just a "go-to" type of thing. If I have to plan every week I know I won't do it. There are some amazing blogs about what other mom's have done and I basically just took all of their wonderful ideas and sort of adapted them to fit B, our schedule, and what I have on hand. I'm planning 2 week units that focus on a certain theme, letter, number, shape, and song. Sounds like a lot but it really isn't. So I'm taking all this motivation to pre-plan most of the activities. So far we are almost a week in and it's actually been quite fun. I just try to do a small 15 minute or so activity in the morning and one in the afternoon. If we are busy that day and can't do the activity then we simply don't do it. This week's lesson was about cars, learning to count, learning our shapes and colors. Here is his "Learning corner" and his Chicka chicka boom boom tree.
Here he is with his hotwheels doing some one to one correspondence.
We painted using our hotwheels then we took the cars to the car wash.
We stuck shape foamies to the window using some water.
Those are just a few things we have done. I really hope to keep this going for now. I know things will get crazy in June but I really think he has been enjoying it. We did counting a few times this week and I saw the "light" flicker a little in his head and he got so excited. He counted to two. He knew he did it and he jumped up and started doing a little dance then he came over and gave me a hug. So neat. He also started music class this week. I'm not sure how much he liked it. He kept giving me his shoes and wanted us to leave. He didn't really participate in any of the class except at the end. He grabbed all the drums and made a drum circle around him. I think I may have a future drummer on my hands?? My other goal this year will be organizing. I need to go through my closet, B's closet, my bathroom, and all my crafts. I'll be ready for another garage sale soon! fo. sho. That's about it for now. I will have to post some pics from Christmas soon. :) Happy New Year.
