Today is a more mellow day for me I think. I plan on cleaning out the filing system for the new year. So I can sit and watch TV and shred! I also have alot of paperwork stuff to get done. My hubby wants me to fnish our household binder so he can find all the information in my absense, so I will work on that some more today. I also have to get my shopping list ready for my big shop tomorrow for the church cooking session. It will be a huge shopping trip to Aldi!
Last night was a nice evening. Everyone liked the Swiss Steak I made. Tommy stayed dry all day yesterday and did very well. In the evening he had one accident or BM..that was fun! ARGH…..Hubby and I spent the rest of the evening playing with Tommy. When I was going through the preschool stuff downstairs I founds some alphabet things to work on. We have a large wooden puzzle with the alphabet. So we picked a letter, then Tommy would run to the fridge and find the matching letter that goes to his Leap Frog Phonic Letter Magnetic. He would put it in there to see what the letter is called. Then we would run back and tell us the letter and do a dance. He is really starting to notice letters. When I am reading before bed at night he will look at my book and pick out letters. Last night he said “Mom there is a “I” in your book” and he proceeded to pick out the “i” on the page. It is great to see his interest. He loves to play games so we are making up more games with letters for him to play. I might have to check out Lakeshore Learning again. I want a Letter Bingo I think. We have a couple of matching games. I still need to make a few phonics buckets too. These early years are to most important up to the age of 5 in my opinion.
Tommy actually even was alseep last night by 11:00…WOW….of course he was in bed with us. Oh well….I put him in his bed around 1:00 when I woke up to use the restroom. He slept through the night in there then.
Tonight I think I will work on writing with Tommy. He doesn’t like to write, but maybe if I make it a game with letters he might do it! Hmm….I should look what is for supper tonight!
