Last week Aidan started Tot School! I have been following the Tot School site for awhile now, and Tony & I both think that Aidan is ready for some sort of schooling- so I am going to be teaching him the alphabet, a letter a week!.. he wasn't too sure about it at first, but now that we're on to week "B".. I'm adding more things, and he's loving it!
Here's the first page of Aidan's alphabet book.. ants on the A's!
Aidan LOVES his new sticker book, and was very excited about putting the new stickers in the right spots!
We ate lots of apples this week!
Doing a Noah's Ark craft, learning about different animals, and loving the glue stick!
The most special part of this week, was making our Operation Christmas Child shoebox.. I have been doing this for years, and was so excited to take Aidan shopping to pick out all of the goodies for his first packed shoebox!
We explained to him that it was a gift for another little boy his age, that doesn't have all the things that he does.. and Aidan was VERY eager to help pack all of the toys up!
I love that this can now be a holiday tradition that we can do as a family, and that we can teach Aidan that Christmas isn't about just getting gifts! :)
I am so proud that you are doing these type of things with him. It is such a good thing to know that giving is much better for the heart than receiving.
ReplyDeleteI like the alphabet sticker book! I would love to know the title and where you got it from. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteoo love all of your activities! That sticker book looks like so much fun! We had fun doing our operation Christmas child box a few weeks ago too :-)
