Tuesday

The flower sniffing pic of Ian is from yesterday!
It's been a great morning with the 6 kiddos. We played inside all day due to the rain showers. The kids played cars (of course) and trains. We also did school time and talked about where coffee comes from (this was part of my rainforest curriculum) they smelled and touched coffee beans and described them. We read aloud a book about the animals in a rainforest. Then in the book we pulled out the letters of the day S, L, and A. We practiced drawing those letters and writing our names. Landon and Lilly were being stubborn about tracing letters. However I did catch Landon trying to make letters on paper later on. Lilly got the letter L and A but was guessing about S. The big boys of course did great with the letters and little Ian came and went while we were doing the lesson (he's a bit young yet) Bryce and Tristan did very well with the story and I would ask them questions about it and have them guess words and they loved it.

WE also sang songs, danced, and played a game (they rolled a 6 sided die and then we would act out that animal. We also did the weather today.

Landon was a bit emotional this morning (plenty of melt downs!) Baby was great and slept from 9:30-12. Ian is in a great mood and him and Landon have been copying each other all day (sometimes not in a good way like when they tell Lilly, no that's mine!) Tristan and Bryce have been great and have been pretending and playing together very well all morning. No tv today until Lunch time. Lilly became a diva at lunch and just started getting crazy! She was having one of those 2 year old moments when they like to hear themselves scream and cry and whine.

Everyone ate very well today (except Lilly at lunch) she did drink and eat her yogurt though. Everyone went down for a nap at noon (Ian went happily to bed today) I don't think he likes sleeping in the basement, he's in my room today and Lilly is in the pack n play in the basement.

Tristan is laying on the couch in the playroom watching sprout and hopefully falling asleep soon!
