School at Home

Not to be confused with Home School...
I have nothing against home schooling...we just aren't that formal!

I decided that I can still play teacher just like when I was a little girl...the difference is that now I actually have someone who can really benefit from it!  Well- hopefully!

Brig is really a smart boy and has picked up some of his letters quite well.
So today we made this little grid with all the letters he knows (or is working on) and made up all kinds of games.

It was a really excellent farm with plenty of fences for all the different animals.
It was fun to throw homemade bean bags at.
It made great target practice with the fly swatter.
It was a nice change from the ordinary hopscotch.
It is still stuck to our living room floor!

All thanks to a lil' masking tape...
and a super cute boy!
(Who looks a little crazy here)


And here is sweet little Ellie...although this picture wasn't taken today...
no- today while we did "school" we were most definitely all in our pajamas.
But look at that adorable little smile!
 Melt me!

  1. Loooove your updates!!! You should show brig the letter factory movie by leap frog, someone suggested it to me when brax was around 18 months, and he knows every letter, still even to this day!!! It's incredible how much their minds at this age retain information. I wish we could have been there to play with you, you are such a great mom! What a great idea!!! Maybe I will have to do that with numbers....we need to work on those;) he can count to ten, but recognizing them on paper is a whole different story.
