The final week of scheduled activities was very low-key, especially since Grace was only here for Monday and Tuesday. Those two days they played "School" and Grace was the teacher and I was the principal and they kept pretty busy with scholastic activities.
The other days were focused on familiarizing Charlotte with age appropriate letter activities and improving Sophie's reading skills. We got all the magnetic letters and played with them, made words, sang the abc song again and again...
We watched the LeapFrog movies. I find them incredibly effective for pre-readers. We have the original set but Netflix also has a variety of LeapFrog movies as well.
We also started playing around with the extensive tag collection of books we have on loan.
Even though there are still a few weeks left of summer (lets not rush it along right!?) I do love fall and can't help but get a little excited and swept up in the back to school season. We started the turn toward this changing season by tightening up bedtime a bit this week. We ordered some new backpacks and started purchasing school supplies.
So while this last week seemed rather anti-climactic it was nice and low-key. I will try to look back at missed activities and plan a few fun things for the last straggling days of summer. Mostly though this tired Momma is going to work on organizational activities and special cleaning projects. I have to continue to make the most of my maternity leave, with lots of baby snuggles intermixed too! Hopefully my next blog entry can be the completed nursery, we are almost done!
