Toddler "School"

Hannah and I both love and thrive off routine. I have learned from my teaching experience that really all children do. Routines are a way to keep your family calm, secure, and at ease with life's variables. When children know what to expect next they will feel safe, secure, and confident. I'm so excited for the new routine of fall! Now, I do know that both of our worlds are about ready to be rocked with a new baby coming, but we are going to at least start out with and hopefully return to a good routine.

This year, we are starting what I like to call toddler "school". Hannah loves to learn, and is constantly asking questions....I love to teach and am anxious to have some formal learning time with my sweet 2 and half year old. So..twice a week, we will be spending just a little time during the day doing "school". We started out with the theme of families...which is perfect for us with the new baby coming. We have been reading lots of family books, and even made a family book of our own. She is memorizing Colossians 3:20 and learning that God made her a part of a family. Here, she is sorting pictures of family members that she colored.


I'm amazed at how quickly she learns and how eager she is to learn. She asks what sounds words start with all the time, can name most of her letters, and is doing things like sorting and counting with no trouble at all! I count it such a joy and a blessing to be home with her each day and to be her teacher. What fun we have together!
