My Words are Stuck Mom

By

Just last week my little clear speaker started getting his words stuck. He starts to say something like “What are you doing?” What comes out of his mouth is “What, What, What.” He gets so frustrated with himself and his words. This isn’t all the time. Sometimes it’s when he is tired. Sometimes it is when he has just gotten up. Sometimes it just Continue Reading

I really struggled with what to write about using the color indigo. Mrs. Matlock’s Summer School class is studying the color indigo this week.

The Three Horrid Little Pigs Need Manners and a Craft

By

  The pigs in The Three Horrid Little Pigs by Liz Pichon didn’t have the right tools to make their way in the world. They couldn’t or won’t build decent homes for themselves. They had horrible manners. They didn’t learn to look out for each other. They weren’t good for their mother either. I think that must be why she kicks them out of Continue Reading

JDaniel Moved to the Blue Room

By

JDaniel moved from the nursery for walkers to the two-year-old Sunday school room on Sunday. His new room is called the Blue Room. I think it is because the carpet is blue. This is a big change for us. His old room had chairs built into the table and a large play area. He mostly played, read books and snacked in the nursery room. The Blue Room has Continue Reading

A Stepstool Can Lead a Toddler to Trouble

By

A stepstool looks a harmless kitchen tool until you see what a toddler can use it to help him do. I have had the same white plastic step stool for years. This step stool is light and easy to move from one location to another. It is a great thing for me to have in the kitchen. At 5 feet 3 inches tall I have needed one to reach high shelves and clean Continue Reading

This Little Piggy and a Craft

By

JDaniel is working a lot on fine motor skills with his fingers. One way we have been working on fine motor skills is to do the finger plays in the book This Little Piggy and other favorite action rhymes by Hannah Wood. He learned several of the rhymes in this book from Miss Donna, the teacher of the Mother Goose Class we attended at the library. Continue Reading
