One day at a time....

~Bug is 21.5 months old~

A combination of Spring Break travel and a pretty nasty fall the last couple of weeks have been more casual play than Tot School time. We had great intentions and packed a whole bucket of travel Tot School items. Bug enjoyed his color puzzle and is getting better at identifying colors other than his favorite “beu.”

During our travels we got to spend some time in the pool (for obvious reasons there are no pictures) and we taught Bug how to kick to propel him forward. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more… us or the older couple watching from the deck.

Bug enjoyed this shape sorting lap book. The only shape he is having a hard time with is the triangle. He did get bored really quickly with this but was able to move through it pretty fast so it may be time to move on to something a little harder.

We enjoyed spending some quiet reading time together. Bug gets excited when I tell him it’s story time and will gladly climb up next to me in anticipation.

We also correctly identified the letter 'O' this week. Albeit to correct mommy who was trying to retrieve the letter 'Q' from Bug's hand. Each time I asked him to give me the letter 'Q' that he was holding. He just looked at me and squealed ohhh. After a few times of this he finally handed me the letter he was holding and it was the 'O' - oops mommy was just a tad embarrased but "Ohh' so proud. :)

PIC OF THE WEEK

This week’s favorite picture came from our tip to see Veggie Tales Live. Here is Bob (aka Daddy) and Larry Boy all prepared for curtain time. Bug really enjoyed sharing this experience with his daddy.

We are all doing much better and are excited to get things back to normal next week. So until then…

Week 9- Chaos

~Bug is 17 months old~

Letter:      Dd

Theme:      Chaos

This week was a challenge as mommy had a very big event to prepare for which left less time for Tot School as I would have liked. Pictures are lacking as what little time I did have I didn’t want to waste a second.

Bug loves his new shape box and will now open it and take out just the shapes he knows and will show them to me and then put them in the correct spots. We do this a few times throughout the day since it is one of the toys I have let come out of the classroom this week.

Bug started working on his first “look and find” book this week. The finding part is pretty easy for the animals he already knows but the matching part a little more of a challenge. He really has his butterfly down and always wants to point that out.

We also revisited the color blue this week as Bug pointed out several things that were blue… or “boo” as he would say.

During all the chaos I am a little embarrassed to say that he got way too much tv time. The good news is that it was all Veggie Tales and Leap Frog shows so at least there were lessons behind them.   

So until next week…
