We took another week of vacation from the materials. I plan on doing a bonus week after each regular school vacation so that I can get back into the swing of going to school and managing our little environment. We have boxes of new materials to set up. Plus, play is so vital to their development. I need to be sure they have the opportunity to get creative with toys.
We have kept busy in many ways. The number one thing: POTTY TRAINING TWINS! Sorry to e-yell, but it's a big deal here. I must have read the No Cry Potty Training Solution 100 times, and we are ready. So far, so good- and it's getting better. There is no rush, we are playing it light. This is our families 2nd training, it was easy with big sis. She is a big help now!
Through the process of training, I came across some great sites that I'd like to share here:
Big sister is deep into art lately. It's almost the only thing she wants to do, so we are going with it! I set up a simple little 'art studio' in her bedroom. She likes to have privacy in her creation.
After trying out many spots, Bean picked a location within our house for our nature table. She chose the dining table! On this glass platter, I'm happy with how lovely it is. It can stay there until we gather more, a reflection of the seasons. I love looking at it while we eat, color, and talk. It reminds me of our nature walk.
