Kids in Training

We are settling in. I have forgotten how hard it is to teach kids the ropes. And ropes are something we have many of, as I have found that being the most structured, predictable as possible mama helps my kiddos so much in making sense of their new world.

Our focuses for the week:
1. Woe vs. Slow vs. Go foods: Curly and Sister not so into Go and Slow. Waaaay into Woe. However, we have discovered a handful of Go foods that we like: apple sauce, bananas, milk, yogurt and cheese.
2. Bathroom Business: Where toilet paper belongs (and doesn't belong), why is there soap next to the sink?, How to Wash Your Own Body 101.
3. The Joy of Toys: Top two this week: Play-doh which they claim to have never seen before. They mixed all the colors together. I love them for that alone. And two, puzzles...not a puzzle left in the house that hasn't been completed at least five times.

Looking forward to Christmas vacation where we can find more foods, play with even more toys and perhaps, just perhaps, have a cleaner bathroom.
