L is for Labels
I have been wanting to get note cards and label everything in the how for Mason. Now that he knows his letter sounds, I think seeing words on items will help him with early reading. Now I don’t have to because Wendy and her mom Janet already did the work.
When we were toddlers, my mother labeled everything in our house—doors, windows, closets. As we got our clothes, we saw the word “closet.” As we tinkered on the piano, we saw the word “piano.” We absorbed what was part of our daily environment. She’s a teacher, and her philosophy is that if you surround young children with the tools they need to learn, over time, they will simply choose to explore that which surrounds them. And through that exploration, they can acquire vast knowledge.
Tool-kit that includes:
- 300+ word labels, with low-tack adhesive for easy removability
- duplicate word labels for high-traffic areas
- 50 water-resistant labels for kitchen and bath
- labels for the numbers 1 thru 50
- 50 directional labels
- 30 blank labels
- 1 label t-shirt and Sharpie, to label the important thing…your child!
I already placed my order & hope you do too, if you have a toddler that is. :)

Stop bribing kids with sweets
We have begun to start trying to potty train Mason. I found an article via Cookie Magazine about how its not a good idea to bribe kids into things with candy and other sweets. Sure it seems like a good idea at first but it leads to worse problems down the road. Read the full article.
