End of the Week

This morning we played a cute came of object recognition. I gathered up small objects and put them in a bucket. Then I took each object one by one and showed them what they were what they are called. I asked them to touch the objects and feel them. Then I put them all back in the bucket and they took turns picking an object with their eyes closed and guessing what it was. They did 100%! I made it too easy, I'm going to get harder things next time. :)

Miss A made the funniest scrunched

up faces when fishing for her items. :)

Julian used all of his senses except his eyes.

Then, I had some left over streched canvas that I have been wanting to use for an art project and we also happened to need more decor for the playroom, so the kids loved painting their hands and getting to make some art.

This was the finished the project! I love it!

Today was Waterday at Trina's and they loved cooling off for a couple of hours.

Letter of the week - Kk

This week we will be hosting a Kk playdate with our playgroup, PALS. Julian is very excited about having his friends over and to get the week started we did some "Kk" activities and some non-Kk activities.


First, we worked on counting and sorting (Math) and I tried to teach him that Abe Lincoln is on the penny and that he was the 16th president, Julian promptly corrected me and told me, "No Mommy, Ba-back Obama is the president and he looks like Little Bill" (For those of you that don't know Little Bill is a cartoon made of Bill Crosby's childhood!)

The Sorting and Counting Tray

Julian did awesome, look at his mouth, he is counting off the pennies.

Next, I showed Julian how to count with his fingers (this will really help in the future...he he...Natasha!). This was fun and he of course loves playing with paint! He had to correspond the right number of fingerprints to match the # in the corner.

The first and only time he will be fingerprinted! :)

Very simple concept, but an awesome counting opportunity (and a lesson in self control, he really wanted to put all the fingers down, but he understood the lesson.)

Later, he painted a Kite and honed in on his fine motor skills, while trying to stay in the lines.


The grand finale of the day, cooking in the KITCHEN, we baked sugar cookies and Julian helped measure out ingredients and mix them.

All this on a Sunday, LOL. We had a lot of fun and I forgot to take pictures of water play this morning! Check back later in the week for updates.
