January Recap
It's been a busy month since Christmas!
The highlight was definitely D turning 5 and celebrating with 3 separate occasions. She has learned all of her letters - recognize, write, and tell the sound. She can count to at least 250 in front of her class. She continues to be outgoing, friendly, and amazingly verbal.
The weather has been very unusual for our area. It's been cold and windy, with negative wind chills on several occasions. D even missed school one day for cold weather.
We've had a couple of days warm enough for bike rides.
We've had snow. Dry, light snow that isn't good for doing much in. But it has caused us to miss 4 days of school.
We've kept ourselves busy inside with different activities. But it's been a challenge to keep 2 energetic, extroverted children entertained throughout the cold days.
There were lots of blocks - legos and wooden.
We made messes by painting with different materials. Painting was a huge hit with both D and S this month. I hope it continues because I have some February painting projects planned.
My big accomplishment for the month was learning to knit (and not going crazy from being inside). I had never picked up a knitting needle before the first of the month. In my Abundant Mama course we focused on self-care and I decided to learn to knit. I've taken time each day to work on learning. I even knitted a scarf!
It's been a good month! Challenging with the weather and no consistent routine. But joyful with celebrations and new skills. We'll see what February brings.
