My Little Girl is 1!

HOORAY! Our littlest baby has turned 1. I don't have pictures of her family birthday party as they're on my hubby's computer and he's traveling. But I didn't want to wait on my post!

Sweet Pea /Lil' Sweetie (Turbo's nickname for her), is such a joyous addition to our family. She's happy, curious, easy going and such a terrific sleeper (Mommy really appreciates that!). She loves to imitate, be tickled and play with any of us, but especially big brother.

Here she was just one short year ago.

Stay tuned for the 1 year birthday pictures over the weekend!

What is Tot School?

For our family, it is dedicated time with Turbo where we focus on learning through FUN and Productive Play! I typically have a theme for the week and certain skills for our focus. Most days we spend about 30 minutes on Tot School - typically divided into two sessions.

Why? The free play all day was not working for us. Turbo would get antsy and start looking for something more challenging or different. Usually that meant playing in something he wasn't allowed or he would be very demanding of my attention every minute. The TotSchool concept has really worked for us. We both love the togetherness and learning. Plus, he's happier with some self-directed play later.

How to do it? 1+1+1=1 has put together an awesome site with a wealth of ideas for getting started. There are so many wonderful blogs with terrific ideas! Just jump in and get started. It's tons of fun and both you and your tot will learn a lot. Also, feel free to email me with questions.
