Nature!

I love it and HATE IT! Allergies and Migraines galore but it's so fun now that QC will touch some new things.
   We got all of our veggies planted and are anxiously awaiting sprouts!  QC loved helping put the dirt into all the cups.




















We had lots of fun with making our veggies but he really thought he would get to eat them right away. Lesson in patience going on!

Then thanks to a nice day out we were able to go for a long walk, look at different things and I let QC pick everything I would take a picture of. I will be having them printed into his own little photo book in a few weeks so that we can look back at them. 
Daddy taught him how to pick flowers


The Tree's are beautiful right now.


One of the many flower boxes lining the main street of our little town!




He really really doesn't like grass and I had to help him up since he didn't want to touch it.




Loved the Bird in the tree

This Stump is at one of the parks we visit!




Our City Hall!

The Lilacs that gave Mama an asthma attack. He told me they smell good.


Of course after our long walk and play at the park one must stop at the old fashioned Soda Fountain for a cone!

Another fun filled week! He wasn't too into doing much other than going out to see the flowers and checking on the veggies.

Transportation!

Senses

This week was all about touching new things, smelling things, making music and different sounds. QC willingly touched grass this week. Not a big thing to most but for him this was a huge success! He told me he didn't like it but he tried. He touched and smelled all the flowers as we took many walks around the neighborhood. We worked on making different sounds. We shook different toys, and then we got out the popcorn kernels and different containers I save for projects and made shakers! QC even got in on the action!!
    I have noticed that QC was getting bored with just coloring and paper projects, so in the way that homeschooling works I changed directions. We are working with ABCmouse.com and doing more hands on sensory work. QC has already mastered his letters capital and lowercase and knows all the sounds so I will just make sure to keep up exposure with coloring pages and the occasional color,cut,glue project for the time being.















Next Week- Starting our Garden!!
