A walk in the park
I'm proud to announce that Mya is finally walking! It's so great! I think she enjoys exploring her world in a slightly different manner now being upright. We took her to the park on Sunday, she wasn't interested in anything but walking around and picking up leafs or pieces of bark on the way, and much to her delight, discovering puddles...

Clean Up Play
I put together a tray of "toddler friendly" cleaning supplies for Mya to play with and help learn to clean. Unfortunately the spray bottle is still too difficult for her to use and I will keep my eye out for one that is suitable for her to use on her own. She really enjoyed wiping and drying up the water her cousin Abby sprayed for her. I also added a small broom and dustpan for her to sweep with.
Montessori practical life training involves preparing children to care for themselves and take an active, independent role in their own health, hygiene and well being. It also helps them become active participants in their households from a very young age.

The tray includes a spray bottle with a small amount of water, a sponge, a cloth, and a dust pan with mini broom.

November starts
I love November. I love that Christmas is just around the corner and the excitement is building. I love that we can still wander outside and enjoy the crisp cold air the fall brings us. I love getting warm and cozy on stormy November evenings. Happy November everyone!

3rd Annual Pumpkin Carve Off
Every year, right before Hallowe'en, a group of us gather at my grandparents house to participate in the Annual Pumpkin Carve Off! It's great fun complete with voting and prizes. We had some awesome carvings this year, and some pretty creative looking pumpkins too. Happy Hallowe'en all!
