Project 365 Day 6

As a stay at home mom, a typical day around our house is usually characterized by mix and match clothing (unless an outing is in order), Cars, Baylor hats, puzzles, a craft or two, etc.

One of my "resolutions", although I hesitate to call it a resolution, more like a goal, is to incorporate more preschool crafts/projects/work into our everyday lives. One of the Christmas presents my kiddos received was a puzzle with the 50 states. Jack has already learned several of the states. This never really occured to me to start working with him on.

There is so much that the boys need to learn! I.E. Days of the week, months of the year, how to tell time, difference between right and left, geography, math skills, etc. etc. etc. As their mother, I want to teach them as much of this as I can before I send each of them to school. It brings my heart great joy to teach them and see them process and begin to put 2 & 2 together, so to speak. I love instilling knowledge and watching them apply it to their lives. I see this in Jack quite often and am beginning to see it in Gunnar as well.

In general, the boys are very happy and well behaved. Of  course, they each have their moments where life is just coming to a halt because Jack has the Lightning McQueen that Gunnar wants, or Gunnar has Mater that Jack wants (hehe). They love to play Cars, as I have stated before. We have an insane amount scattered in every nook and cranny of our house! They also thrive on routine and schedule. Take away the schedule, especially Gunnar or Levi's, and things quickly fall apart!
