a little bit of motivation...

a few things to do in the morning...

and a few things to do in the evening...

for a little guy, can sometimes be hard to remember (and not always too much fun, either.)

so, with this inspiration from my name is snicker doodle...

using pictures to stay on track, he covers each one as it's completed ...

and completes some cool pictures as he moves along...

it all makes for one happy little boy and one happy mama :)

head over to my name is snickerdoodle for a tutorial!

chapter books...

we've entered the world of chapter books...

it's so amazing to see leo's interest...

his ability to follow along from one day to the next... from chapter to chapter...

his excitement... his understanding... 

now to find some good ones...

what chapter books are you reading?

sponges...

add some sponges to water...

explore wet and dry...

the feeling of sponges being squished...

the sounds of the water...

and my heart fills with joy as i watch the quiet concentration.
