We enjoyed a relaxing visit from Grandmommy and Pop recently. They drove out and stayed with us for a few days. Lots of delicious food and coffee was consumed by all. Raegan and Grandmommy read many books together. Raegan is getting really good at memorizing books very quickly. I bought her a set of 5 If You Give a... books at Costco (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, etc.). By the night we got them she could already finish most of the sentences. She has also grown attached to the library books that are due next week. I'm not sure if she will like this concept of giving them back. Her favorites from our first batch are The Lady with the Alligator Purse and Hooray for Amanda and Her Alligator! This was our first Mo Willems book and I really enjoyed it.
We started our ABC project. So far we have done A and a. After the glue dried on the Alligator, she ripped all the pieces off : / She is funny with some of our new activities. Her main form of enjoyment with the Play-Doh is to immediately squish everything I make. Actually, she puts a belly button on it and then squishes it. It's like a compulsion - she just squeezes it like a stress ball and asks for another shape. And she's a color mixer, which is really hard for me. I'd like to start incorporating some time at her table with a learning activity, maybe 10 minutes at a time. I found some really neat ideas for her on Pinterest and plan to incorporate some of them into her day. She's not really into guided, structured time, so we'll see how this goes.

There's a blog you should check out- It's called Momtessori. It's a Montessori teacher who is now a stay-at-home mom. If you go to my blog you'll find a link to it on the side. I think you'll find lots of ideas!
