Tot School Saturday

Its been a fun day at home. We saw Daddy off to work and started our day with a little dance party to wake us up. They sat down to their oatmeal and bananas for breakfast and I washed some dishes. After oatmeal there is no where for them to go but straight to the tub. I let them play in their for a long time, while I cleaned up the bathroom. Under the sink needed some desparate help. My husband has a big habit of just throwing stuff under there where ever it lands is where it stays, until I give the kids a long bath and clean it up. Gotta love men right? After, we got out and watched Alice and Wonderland with some popcorn on the couch. It was a great bonding time together.

After the movie they wandered into their room playing together, so I took the oppurtunity to create and activity. I wanted to talk about shapes today, so I knew I wanted something for that. However, I didnt want a huge mess today, so I pulled out pipe cleaners, construction paper and magnadoodle.

I drew shapes on construction paper and bent the pipe cleaners into matching shapes so that he could match them up. Then I reinforced what we talked about by drawing them out and going through them again. He seemed to have a lot of fun with it, Lorelai repeated circle and enjoyed bending the pipecleaners and playing with them.

The rest of the day was filled in with playing with punch balloons and piggy back rides. The last few nights, they have been stubborn about going to bed, so my goal today was to wear them out. They are driving me nuts being up late and still getting up early. Im glad they are still functionable with such little sleep, but Mommy isnt..haha. They are also starting to refuse naps. So at the same time they are taking my night sleep away they are taking away my mid day quiet time as well. Hoping all the extra activity I threw in today will at least help them get to bed normal tonight. My husband and I are hoping for a night in catching up on Grey's Anatomy episodes in our room.
