Wednesdays for us

Today was a quiet inside day. Mya has just started to attend a Montessori preschool 2 days a week. Wednesdays are our day at home after two days of straight school, so we usually spend it doing whatever fun and calm activities Mya likes best. Her favourite thing to do with mommy is probably reading, followed by painting or playing in her kitchen.

I had a few new activity trays put together ready for our quiet day together.




A sorting button tray, fun for working on our colors and fine motor skills.






Lock and keys, this is a new one for her and she enjoyed the challenge.








Her teacher told us how much she enjoys stringing beads and making necklaces at school, so I added a tray of assorted beads, pipe cleaner and string with a plastic needle for her to work with.






I also set up contact paper on our window for Mya to decorate with assorted paper and buttons.









Emry notices when Mya isn't around, our house is much calmer and quieter. Although she gets more quality time with her mommy, I'm positive she prefers her sister to be near.










I also set up Emry's animal cards as part of her room decor, she laid in her crib staring at them for
awhile which suprised me a little as she normally wants nothing to do with being in her crib awake.

Another classic activity that is awesome to have around daily is the sensory bin. Today we added magnets to it, and had a lot of fun while the baby slept.

What's more fun than a foot in your sensory bin??
