School time

Now that Nate is done with school, our days are lazier, slower, more relaxed. But I also remember that Nate loves routine and schedule, knowing what to expect. So I have instituted "school time" each morning around 9:00. (I picked this time because Levi is usually taking his morning nap by then.) We're all usually still in our PJs. So far, we have colored, practiced cutting with scissors, traced letters and numbers (while holding the crayon the proper way), made snowflakes, and learned the names and the pictures of the first 10 presidents (I knew Nate would love those flashcards I picked up in Target's dollar bin). Then, after school time, the three of us play Lincoln Logs together. It has become a fun routine and a great start to the day!
