Learning and Cloth update!!


Learning time is going really well with O. He loves to sort pom-poms by color, and loves to point to the shapes he knows. The only shape he will verbally say is circle, but he knows the others by sight, and will point to them if you ask him to. I made some foam domino type things with shapes on them (see the pics) and he likes to make the shapes match. I am getting ready to print off some activities to try, and we'll see how he likes doing something new. Any ideas? (seeing as my "followers" both have small children LOL)
Every time I am on the computer he asks for "B" which is what he calls starfall.com. He LOVES to watch the letter videos, and "talks" along with them. He makes the sounds, and a few times he's said other words he knows that start with that letter. We were watching "B" yesterday (big surprise, it's his favorite letter) and he said "buh, baby." I was blown away!
We are also to the point now that we are cloth diapering more than not. I bought some all in one's so B will help out. They are so easy! It's just like a using a disposable diaper, except we put it in a wet bag and wash it, instead of throw it away. I don't know why I didn't do this from the beginning with O. With part time ECing E, and O almost done learning the potty, cloth is a great choice so they feel when they go. I need to get O a seat to go on the big potty (since he'll only go on his potty chair) and I think we'll take another step forward. I'm so excited with these changes I've made!!
Next green project, switch to all cloth bags for the store. Baby steps!!
