We are on the letter "I" and my little man loves to play with letters. For this letter I did not have much in the way of sensory items so I used the flashcards and printables from 1plus1plus1equals1.com for our lesson on the letter "I". Peanut knew "ice cream" since Blue Bell Ice Cream is a family favorite, but the other words were new to him. I have a special craft project for the word ... View Post

One of our favorite ... View Post

You know what became the biggest hit? The elbows! Peanut was drawn to the elbows right away. He loved shaking the box and enjoyed the sounds it ... View Post
We are on the letter "C" in our preschool alphabet which is for cheerful. I couldn't resist adding a video of our nearly nine-month-old because he is just so cute! He laughs easily and has a wonderful disposition. I enjoy watching his personality bloom as he becomes more alert and aware of his surroundings every day. Just one look at that grin and I know you'll smile. Here is a video of our ... View Post
