We finished off our first month of virtual learning. So far it's been going pretty good. Lilah doesn't really like it when they are just reading songs or books, but we both enjoy doing the crafts the teacher sends home.
Once a month I drive by the school and pick up a month's worth of activities to do at home. It's awesome. I love that there's a schedule to follow and that they have units and the teacher cuts out and prepares all of the crafts for us to do at home.
(Lately I've been making these little family snacks where the kids will snack out of. They always eat out of my plate anyways)
I LOVE when Lilah uses her imagination. It usually involves her making a huge mess but I love seeing her play. Even though it feels like the messes never stop.
Had to get a close up of Lilah's beautiful eyes.
Lilah draws the cutest self portraits. She drew this all on her own.
We have been getting creative with at home activities. I don't want my kids watching movies all day or being in front of screens all the time so we try to play outside as much as possible.
Here I made bubbles on their water table. Lilah is naughty and loves opening up the water full blast so she made way more bubbles than I had planned on.
David wanting some hearing aids like Lilah. He feels left out not having hearing aids like her.
This little lawn mower is David's favorite. Here is Lilah being a butt and getting in his way. He loves going around in circles in our backyard.
Lilah loves playing mommy. She told me to move out of the way because she wanted to take David out of his seat.
Love these two so much!
I love when they play together. I found them playing in Lilah's closet. It's their favorite hide out spot. Lilah will put her Cubby in front of the closet so David can't get out. She loves forcing him to play with her.
One of the things I love about having preschool at home is David learning along with Lilah. He makes it very challenging because Lilah already has a hard time paying attention plus David distracting her or crying or climbing all over us, but when he sits nicely it's the best
He's been learning right along with her. He is even starting to say so many words lately. I'm hoping they both learn to talk at the same time. Lilah can't know less words than her 1 year old brother.
I think I forgot to take pictures last month, so here are August's pictures. I feel like he grew up so much this past month. He just seems so tall to me. I love my sweet David so much.
He is such an easy going kid. He is always happy.
He is the best little sleeper and always wakes up so happy. He has also perfected his fake cry just to get some extra snuggles.
If it wasn't for Lilah always fighting with him and taking his toys, he would play happily all day.
Lilah wanted a monthly picture too.
Lilah takes her bossy big sister roll pretty seriously. She told me not to push David because she was going to push him.
Lilah following along with her teacher online and drawing a rainbow.
I love when she gets to do crafts at home. This is something that I don't like doing on my own so I am glad we get to do it through school. Usually it takes alot of work to do these kinds of crafts and my kids will only enjoy it for a minute. But since I don't have to prepare anything, I can just sit back and enjoy.
Lilah decided to do school under the table. Whatever makes her pay attention!
Naughty Lilah took one of my lipsticks and drew on the walls. Here she is cleaning it.
The other night she brought her school lap top to me and asked if she could do school. She doesn't show it sometimes but I think she is really enjoying school and atleast seeing her little friends through a screen.
Another perk of online school, you can lay down in the middle of class.
Doing a duck activity. She decided she wanted to switch things up and do it on the wall.
And then she changed her mind and decided to go under the table.
Following along with the activity as her teacher read the 5 Little Ducks story.
I love that they can go and play outside for recess. These kids are so lucky to have such a fun house full of toys.
Laying on the hammock for second recess.
Lilah was tired the other day. She actually took a nap. Then she woke up and found me working on our bathroom floor and fell back asleep on my lap. Mike was able to move her to her room successfully and she kept on sleeping. She was one tired girl!
David loves helping me load the dryer. He is the cutest, sweetest little helper.
The kids watching dad at work.
I love Lilah's independence. Most of the times it gets her in trouble but atleast I appreciate her wanting to do things on her own. This day she climbed up on the pantry and brought me bread and peanut butter to make her sandwich. She ended up doing it all by herself. Love this cute little Miss Independent.
