Hot Mess Mama!

Is anyone out there? I sadly do not think anyone (except for my husband and I) is reading this. It's quite sad. :( ANYWAY, it won't stop me, lol, at the very least it will be a little journal I can show my son when he's older! So day #3 of Tot School was pretty successful! We skipped yesterday because D went to my mom's house (the night before was date night!) and I think him getting out of our apartment and everything improved his mood, lol. So, yes, like I was saying (typing?) we had a great day! My day literally flew by all the way up until the minute Daddy got home! First, we started off with some Play-Doh. Up until today I had a hard time letting D play with it because he would attempt to eat it. I can proudly say, today was not a day I was nervous! Not once did it even go near his mouth! So proud (it's the little things I tell you!) You can let them use anything really to help play with it! I used a skewer (I cut off the sharp end and made sure the ...

Hey out there! Welcome back! Day 2 of Tot School was 50/50! D was extremely cranky in the morning and was not much into the morning's activities! We did two activities back to back and they lasted 20 minutes together. Much different than the day before. I think it had a lot to do with his crankiness, because he didn't even want to play with anything. He just wanted to be cuddled. So that's what we did until he went down for his morning nap. ANYWAY, We did a ladybug painting and I let him get use to using a bingo dauber (it was going to be used later that day.) So we started with the bingo dauber. And he LOVED it. But he mostly just liked daubing his hand...haha :) Yeah, that's what his hand looked like all day yesterday! I washed most of it off, but in the afternoon, he did it again! :) I don't care much because he's having fun and that's all that mattered.  We then went on to do a ladybug painting. I cut out black dots to add, bu...

Hey out there! I know, it's been a while! I have no excuses, except I didn't feel I had much to blog about. I'm sure I did, or could have, but oh well...moving on! So recently I discovered Tot School! Look it up! It's all over the internet and it's awesome! It was invented by a mother (her child actually named it...haha) but it was invented over at 1+1+1=1! Go check it out! Basically Tot School is teaching young toddlers using play. That's it. It's watching them play and teaching them along the way. That's my take away anyway! Anyway, today was my first morning working on it with D! He isn't quite 15 months yet, so I was slightly afraid he wouldn't be interested. I was afraid for no reason! D LOVED it. I followed his lead. I had been planning this for at least the past week (for this entire week, not just today! haha) The color of the week is red. That's the center of our entire week. I'm going to introduce the letter "A" as...
