Happy Day

Today is my birthday (I'm 35) and for my 22 month old, should be like every other day.

As usual, this morning Turbo and I go to Little Sweetie when she wakes. She greets us with her sweet, little "Hiiiiii" and huge smile, just like everyday. As I reach her crib, she says "Happy Day" to me. This is her "Happy Birthday". Let me tell you, my heart just melted. Happy Day indeed!!

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.
