Royal is 21.5 months I am amazed that we did so many Valentines activities and didn’t get a single picture!!  Oh well, here’s what we did get pictures of!Playing with Wedgits.  He didn’t care much for the bigger pieces – just wanted to put the little white ones in the base! Painting!  This child could paint…

Royal is 19.5 monthsIt’s been awhile since I’ve done a tot school post so this encompasses a few weeks!!Royal is really interested in his body parts, so we’ve been working on that with him.  Here is he pointing out his ears.  Playing with the iTouch.  He loves a few games on there… Baby Piano Lite…

We’ve been keeping it pretty simple lately and just trying to get some things done around the house.  School has mostly consisted of life school lately although we’re desperately trying to get back into our regular schedule! We’ve been posting our Christmas crafts daily, so I’m not going to repost them.  Here’s a little link…

  Slow week is an understandment.  Between getting everything ready for Baloo’s new PreK set up and Ryker getting sick and needing to see the doctor, I think we only did tot school one day!  Royal got to enjoy the goop Baloo and I made.  He made a huge mess, but since it’s just cornstarch…

  This week we started a unit on Afghanistan.  I let Baloo choose which country to study next and he chose Afghanistan because Daddy just spent a year there.  I chose not to focus on the war, but instead the culture and the people who live there.  There really wasn’t a lot to be found,…

Royal is 17.5 months As with PreK, we cut our week short to plan for our new set up.  While the new set up is really for Baloo, I’m hoping to make it useable for Royal as well.  We went on a walk this week.  I’d almost call it a nature walk since we have…

  Finally we’ve had a semi normal week!!  I was actually feeling a bit better and we had a few normal days.  That ended on Wednesday though because I just am not happy with our set-up.  It’s too much “sit-down” work and not enough active.  I see pictures of all my friends kid’s preschools and…

I have to start with a confession.  DH and I started trying for baby #3 when he got back from Afghanistan and we got our BFP August 1st.  We’re incredibly excited…and I am incredibly sick.  This is a bit part of the reason we’ve been taking it easy.  I was not really sick either either…

Royal is 17 months Finally back on track…I think!  We haven’t been doing trays, more so just using intentional play as a learning method.  Royal really enjoys the 1 on 1 time and I think he likes having the toys laid out with all the correct items instead of the usual hodgepodge that we end…

I won’t pretend like we had the most successful week.  It seems like we’ve had more doctors appointments in the past 2 weeks than in my entire lifetime.  But we’re slowly getting back on track! We did our regular Calvert lessons this week.  We’re still getting into the routine of Calvert, but I’m really enjoying…

We’re back!!!  After a completely unintentional summer break, we’re back.  We’ve moved twice (into a rental house now!) and have celebrated Baloo’s birthday!  My little man is now a full 4 years old!  After spending a good 2 weeks completely overwhelmed with starting PreK, I decided it was time for a more comprehensive curriculum.  I…
