So June didn’t exactly lend itself to a whole lot of schooling in the formal sense. We found ourselves exploring our new surroundings, spending the sunny days on the beach, and meeting new people. What we did discover is a wonderful library (actually two) in close proximity of our house. Because the thought of taking Camryn into a library is a little daunting at this stage, we came up with a plan. We take trips to the library, Peter and the kiddies play in the park that is behind the library, and I found myself grabbing a few books that I think the kiddies will enjoy. Eryn and Camryn are loving their storytimes, and every now and then we have a guest reader:
Eryn loves Aunty B's story telling
Also found a wonderful toy shop specialising in wooden toys that was having a 50% sale. My mission was to find timeless toys, toys that the kiddies will not grow out of soon. Based on the amount of fun I have had playing with them, I think our new toys are going to last.
A classic train track
Eryn is a keen doctor and loves her ambulance set
Eryn (and her mom) enjoys Quadrilla
And of course we always learn things from our outings:
Eryn learnt that not everybody thinks her bowl of nuts is yummy!
Camryn learning the art of sharing popcorn
First trip on a bus
The art of drawing a family emblem
Fine motor skill for cammy and counting for eryn
A bit of music in between
Writing in the sand
Eryn reading to Camryn, and yes Camryn is running around without pants and with his sisters shoes on
a bit of muscle building too
lots of strength building in the park
some ball skills
feeding the goats and other animals at the giraffe house
And like I said we did do a bit of “school” work:
Eryn's first picture of her mommy
a cow eryn made with different size squares
some exhibits
And that is how we spent our month
