Fun Learning with Froglegs!!!

Our neighbor has a mom who made Yo Gabba Gabba hats for Christmas. Froglegs has fun pretending to be Muno the red monster.

So, we took family pics by a neighbor, still trying to figure out how to enlarge them. But we found some acorn hats. This is our rendition of Unka Dan's Russian friend.


We both have a resolution to get in shape, Froglegs, and J helps. They is so cute!!! They are getting muscles!!!(that was Froglegs and J, Daddy already has some;))






So... One of the reasons it has been a long time since I have updated the blog is that... I have been potty training Froglegs. We started by doing a potty party. I was hoping faithfully that the party would make it easier for me and He would be potty trained. Hah!!Hah!!!!! It pees less in his pants but still haven't had pooping success any ideas?????? My mom found a book to make potty training fun. Its a Potty Party book with a doll.

So we finally get all the toys picked up and Froglegs leaves out just one in on the kitchen floor and trips on it and bites his lip. It was a golf club. This is our pitty party.






Thanks to my sista's and Jen's pictures I have officially marked off starting in home preschool. Here is some of the fun. I found that doing the work sheets(StarFall website) of the letters and numbers on the toilet helps for multi tasking. Any know how we can stop Froglegs from pooping in his pants? :) I have the Learning chart on above the kitchen table too(they say flash cards are best while eating at the table. If you have a slow eater that is a great idea. We read and point to the words and since he has a problem speed dialing what he says we clap the alphabet now and count syllables. The apple and tomato experiment was which one or all will float? This tomato drowned and then I encouraged him to bob for his apple. He decided to just grab it in the end. I hope he doesn't cheat later in life;)!!! I also made a back pack of discovery tools. A magnifying glass(hopefully you can put a string in it for the neck), paint chips with a ring to keep them together(color classification),tape measure and string,net, tubberware or strawberry container, journal and a pen for writing down your findings. I have been doing this stuff for a while gathering tools for this moment and it is so fun!!! If you have or need ideas I love love love them.
