Read MoreTot School!
I haven’t posted tot school in a bit for 2 reasons. Firstly, we haven’t been doing as much as usual since Baloo is going to start public school soon. Secondly, we’ve been out of town! So this will encompass more than just one week. We did a bit with the letter Z kind of…

I won’t lie, our 2nd week of transition did not go particularly well, through no fault of Baloo of course! It’s just been one of “those” weeks. We started off the week searching for bugs, and then collecting fake bugs. We picked up this stuff at Dollar Tree for our bug unit in August,…
