Tot School: October 5-11, 2009

Sunshine is 27 months old.

This post is a catch up post of a few things that we have done over the past three or so weeks. It's been a bit since I have posted and linked up with tot-school. Life has been busy around here with my new hours at work so it's been tough to fit tot-school in, but I am going to make it a priority from now on! Anyways, here is what we have been up to:

I made a tray for Sunshine to work on sorting colors with pom poms in an egg carton. I thought it was a great idea, but she had other thoughts about it! At first she began sorting them and then decided it was more fun to dump them on the floor and throw them all over! I am still finding rouge pom poms here and there! ;o)

While we did our farm theme, Sunshine made this book that goes along with Mrs. Wishy Washy. She loved making this book! It was fun and simple and once it was done she wanted to read it over and over.

We did a torn paper collage with many different textures of paper. I went through my scrapbooking supplies and found about 6 different textures for her to tear and glue.

Stickers continue to be a HUGE hit as well!

I found some cute monster stamps in the dollar bins at Target, which Sunshine loves! She also does a great job of matching the right color cover to each stamp.

Been a loooong time...

...since my last post; nearly a month! :( Shame on me! I have not had much umph to do Tot School with Sunshine and I feel guilty about it. I started my new hours at work and frankly they SUCK! If I am lucky I get out at 4:10, but realistically its more like 4:20/4:30. There has been so much crap going on in the classroom I am teaching in that I am drained when I come home at the end of the day. It takes all that I am to make dinner and give her a bath most nights. She is my everything so I need to get with it and make time and some how find the energy to do what is important to me when it comes to my little girl. I just need to get more organized and plan better.

We are in the process of making some big changes in our home and once all is said and done Sunshine will have a new bedroom and playroom, I will have my completed craft room, and my husband will have an office that is not full of my crafting stuff! Everyone gets something in the end! YAY!

So I have two things to focus on right now:
1. Plan ahead for Tot School so we can be more successful at it.
2. Work like a dog to get all the home changes done and document these changes digitally so I can share.
