This week went great!
Bee loves his tot boxes. He doesn't know the days of the week yet so he cant pick his own box but he does remember the bin of the day. Every morning he runs to the boxes to get started. Too bad we have to start the day off with breakfast. I am such a drag.
Monday was a day of beading. Bee is getting significantly better. He doesn't do any patterns yet but he gets the beads onto the string so that's a huge win. We also had some bells in this plastic tube. I have no idea where this container came from but he loved it. Flash cards are always a favorite. Bee knows some sign language so he will often sign then say the name of the object on the card. He isn't so great with words yet but I believe the flash cards are helping him. This box was played with for a couple hours then he took a break to come back for another hour.
Who knew that pipe cleaners could be so fun. I paired the pipe cleaners with straws for Bee to slide them inside. He did that for quite a while. Eventually Bee decided to try and shoot the pipe cleaners at me through the straw. When we go out to lunch I shoot him with the paper wrapper that is on straws. I guess he is learning from my bad habits. Lol. When Jason, my hubby, got home he revived our tot box and taught Bee another thing to do. Silly faces is one of the things my boys do oh so well.
Tuesday we also played "Go Fish," our version was a little bit more like memory but we had fun.
We also had some sibling love going on. They both like to wrestle and snuggle each other. Its oh so cute!! The day ended off with an impromptu nap on the couch while reading some books.
Our sensory bin was my favorite activity this week. In the bin is black beans and foam puzzle pieces. The goal was for Bee to dig out the letters/numbers and put them into the puzzles beside the box. He got a little distracted putting the beans in various containers that he almost forgot about the foam pieces. Bee loves containers. They are his favorite of all time. It's actually hilarious. When Jace got home from work he had better luck finishing the puzzles.
We did play in the dirt later on in the evening. We have a turtle and he needed a snack. So we went on a worm hunt. Yep. We dug in our "garden" for worms. Bee was shocked at their wiggling and couldn't pick them up but he tried his hardest. We also separated dirt, rocks and worms into different containers. We know how much Bee loves separating things so this was right up his alley.
Friday turned into a bubble day mostly but Bee did enjoy the Tower of Hanoi. Obviously he didn't play correctly but he did enjoy stacking them. I also quizzed him on their colors and he mostly got them right. We are making head way and I am so proud of him.
We are also in the middle of toilet training. Ugh. That has been keeping us busy too. Hence the lack of pants....
Don't judge. Embrace.
