Started my oldest Mini (4 years old) on a journal. We take time every day to write about what happened in the day. This is a picture of his sister running through a sprinkler. Yep, that is her belly button if you were wondering:). We also do a second page practicing a letter or a number. He calls it his homework. It is fun to take the summers off and put all my energy into helping my kids learn... they are my one and only focus. We do crafts everyday and learn so much! I love summer. What do you do with you kids in the summer?
Who has the name Matisse in your family? That's cute! I like how he drew matisse. The hair is great!
ReplyDeleteMatisse is my daughters name. She is 2 1/2, Sawyer is my son, 4 1/2
ReplyDeletePS... Matisse (Tisse) as we called her really does have crazy hair like that:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectaular name for your daughter!
ReplyDeleteWhat do I do with my kid in summer? Sigh... Being that he's 21 and currently in South Africa, I mostly WORRY and pay for sure he has enough money and hope I'll get to talk to him via skype. But when he's home I'll make favorite foods to feed his perpetually skinny body and try to get him to put away the various guitars, amps, assorted wires, cables, and rechargers, and and clothes and hiking stuff so I don't trip over it. And hopefully get to spend some time with him too!
Hmmm thought I left a comment - but I'll try again. Absolutely LOVE your daughter's name!
ReplyDeleteMy 21 year old is in South Africa till August - my first summer without him home - I don't miss the mess, but I do miss him, even though I don't get much time with him at his age.
Sounds like home-schooling! I love this picture. Isn't it funny how they will focus on some part we hardly notice (belly-button) ?
ReplyDeleteMatisse is a beautful name. Do you pronounce Tisse "Tissy" or "Tees"?
I love it! Summer is such a great time to do fun and educational projects with the kids. Good job Nichole and kids!!!
