Easel to Love

It's amazing how a simple easel makes learning letters so much more fun. One side is a chalkboard and the other is a magnetic dry-erase board. Both have jump started the boys' letter drawing efforts. They don't even know yet that I can clip paper onto this and they can paint standing up. Wonderful!

Tot School -- January 2011

Fine motor skills, aka sticker fun. Hanging laundry in the dining room. I'm convinced Montessori will eventually turn my sons into little houseminions.

Dressing up to go outside. Jack and Xavier suited up and then came to find me to let them into the back yard.

Working on the letter C.

Hot Wheels

Forgive me. I'm nearly an entire month behind in posting photos so you, dear readers, are going to have to endure some Christmas photos. Tim took Xavier to the park today for a bike riding "lesson" which reminded me that I have a backlog of adorable riding toy photos and one hillarious video. Enjoy!

Yup. That's Jack on Xavier's "big boy" bike. He can't ride it but he likes to try.

Here he is on the Hot Wheel while Xavier puts on his helmet.

Now on to the smaller training bike.

Nope, even if he can't make it go, Jack still wants to sit on his big brother's bike.

And a few days later...
