Bath Time with Mother Goose Time

Some things are pretty mundane.  Dishes, laundry, bathtime.  But when you are three, EVERYTHING is exciting, and Mother Goose Time always provides fun stuff to build on that enthusiasm!  I was really looking forward to this week because there were a lot of easy activities to really entertain Little Guy. 

We started the week with Bath Time.  First we read Harry, the Dirty Dog.  Despite it being a very old book, and pretty cute, I don't think I have ever read it.  Little Guy really liked it and has been looking at it a lot since we read it.

Our first game was supposed to be done with sponges, but since I don't have any sponges, we used a weird clip thing from those vacuum seal bags.  First we spun the spinner, then we had to balance the "sponge" on the parts we had spun.  First he had fun balancing them on his body, then he thought it was way more fun to balance them on me.

Later we continued with the Harry the Dirty Dog theme, and Little Guy got to make his own puppet.  First he put ALL the black spots on the dog, and we fastened an eye on it.  Then I mixed some dirt and brown paint together and he made that dog really, really dirty.  He loves painting, so it was pretty fun for him.





We finished up school time with a bubble bath.  Honestly we don't do baths in our house.  Other than babies that are to little to sit up, everyone showers here.  At one point I had a 1, 2, 3, and 4 year old who all needed to be clean, and running each of them a bath was way to time consuming.  So we started with showers, which take 5 minutes at most.  So a bath is actually a bit of a treat at our house, and Little Guy stayed in there for at least an hour.  The water was not warm anymore and he was as wrinkly as a raisin, but he still wanted to stay in there.  While he was in there we worked on sorting and fine motor skills, using a spoon to scoop out the Boat Counters, and then sorting them by color.

The picture sucks, but there were only so many pictures, and I needed one with no face and no privates, so this fuzzy one is what we have. 

A quick comment:  I do clean my tub (not as often as I probably should, but it does happen) but the caulking around the edge has been stained since we moved it.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks bec...
