Week of 1/11/10 - WE HAD A VERY BUSY WEEK!
This was a very busy week for us, Jumping Bean has been potty training himself since October but with going out of town several times and Christmas I decided to offically wait. No more waiting - he is ready! So this is the 1st week he wore training pants! I decided to have him wear them when we are home, then when we are out until he is fully potty trained he will continue to wear his cloth diapers.
Yeah! Jumping Bean in his training pants!
Jumping Bean has his own Bible I read to him everyday but he sits & listens to his older brother & I read his Bible. We are currently reading about Moses (Exodus 2:1-4). Since my older son did a craft, I had Jumping Bean do the craft aswell. This was taken from Christian preschool printables
He colored Moses in the basket, I traced his hands then he glued them around the basket. The hands are supposed to be the reeds in the water.
Then from the same link I printed off the Moses color match cards ( I printed them in color to save onink & colored them myself).
Ourweek lesson on Let it snow!

Putting snowman together from felt (homemade by mama)
My crazy idea of "indoor snow", shredded paper in a inflatable pool. Since it does not snow here I made "pretend snow" they had fun but what a mess! My carpet was covered w/ shredded paper & took forever to get it up!
Button match to color paint swatches from the hardware store.

Playtime
As you can tell my tot LOVES Superman, the cape is his brothers & he wears it all the time - he even tries to wear it while he is sleeping. I made him his own for Christmas but nope he wants to wear his brothers. He calls it his Dooperman cape.

Cute I spy bottle! I also really like the paint swatch & button match. The Doperman cape is adorable. Great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN week! And yay Jumping Bean for doing so well in potty training!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, too. :)
Love the shredded paper for snow. Might as well do something fun with it and boy it sure does look like your boys had a lot of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, there's so many great activities here! I was *just* looking for a good Moses craft or activity, so thank you very much for the link!! It's perfect! Also, I love the button and paint sample matching! The snowflake painting is beautiful, and what a wonderful mom you are to let them play with shredded paper. :) I can just imagine the mess (although quite often it is SO worth the clean up for the amount of enjoyment they get!). And yay for the training pants - what an adorable picture! Thank you for following my blog; I'm now your follower too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week!! And YAY for potty training :)
ReplyDeleteThe indoor snow looks like so much fun, worth the cleanup! The digging for fossils is great, what a fun activity. I can't wait for Xander to be ready for stuff like this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week! The button and paint sample matching is such a great idea. You are a brave Mama to let all that shredded paper fly, and it looks like they had so much fun with it!
ReplyDeleteMy little one loves Moses and Dino's. I think she would have fit right in at your house this week!
