And his mama was worried he wouldn't take a nap. =)
What's on our shelf this week
Highlights of our Day
After reading The Lion and the Little Red Bird, and did a picture walk of Birds In the Fall, we made bird feeders! Pinecones, peanut butter, and birdseed was all we needed. The kiddies tried applying it with a popsicle stick, however, it was a bit tough, so we tossed those aside and they used their fingers. Then coated the pinecones with birdseed, and they were ready to be taken home and hung up.
Counting and Music
We listened to Ella Jenkins' Couting Games and Rhythms for the Little Ones today. Ella Jenkins is probably the most legendary name as far as childrens instructional records are concerned. This record (now CD) is on Scholastic/Folkways and focuses on teaching kids to count. We love Ella Jenkins!
Today we sang Hello

We used the drums to help with keeping the rhythm for the counting portion.

Lots of outdoor play in the sandbox.

SOOOoooo glad Mia got an extra day at Casa T this week...yay for Dr appts. While Mia was having fun, we saw a pair of wiggling feet and heard the heartbeat :)
Mia hearts Damon. I'm so thrilled his first day went so wonderfully :)
Oh, Mia LOVED showing off her bird feeder to her daddy. They put it up in the tree together. Awwww
Damon was really excited to show his feeder to daddy as well! They hung it up in Damons house (his playhouse). Great pix, I love being able to see a glimpse of my boys day. I missed him, but I know its good for both he and I to have a little space, right?
It is absolutely ok for you two to have space apart during the week. Not to mention the social skills your little guy will get while he's here. Sophia is learning tons every day about the simple things that will carry her on throughout this path we call life.
Sharing, being respectful, and forming friendships.
I always love what Mia's Mama says when she picks up her daughter. She "falls in love with her all over again."
