TOTSchool

Our week in TOTSchool.
Emily is 31 months old.

Emily and I enjoyed playing with Juliette! This week I took a picture of Emily and myself loving on Juliette :0)

Emily and I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. We baked, apple pancakes, apple bread, and apple pie. Emily also helped me dry basil from our garden.

We continued working on the letter Aa this week. I hid the magnetic Aa's in our rice bucket and Emily had a great time finding them. It was a beautiful day so we were able to do this project outside. Juliette really wanted to get in on the action. We can't wait till she can really join in on our projects!

Emily started a Mommy and Me 2 year old program at a local church. We go for and hour and a half each week. They have a sand table, lots of toys to play with, a play dough station, puzzle station and craft for the week. Then they have a Jesus time, snack and story time. In addition to a short separation period where the children play while the assistant watches them and the parents can discuss any issues related to 2 year olds. This is Emily outside of my parent's house after we dropped of Juliette on her first day. I am excited about this time to spend with just Emily!

We spent some time at my mom's house and she has some really great toys! Here Emily is working on a giant safari floor puzzle while Juliette watches. Emily has a great time working on this giant puzzle.


For our weekly stART project emily practiced cutting out pictures. I cut the pieces into wide strips and Emily had to cut around them. She did a great job! Check out her final project here.


Emily also really enjoyed playing with these BRIO and Thomas The Train sets at my mom's house. These were my youngest brothers and I remember having so much fun making all different layouts with them. My mom and I set up the trains and Emily spent a good hour playing with the green train, moving it all over the tracks and telling a whole story to go with it.
