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. :)
Toddlers idea of yoga
I was doing some yoga, tree pose to be exact, when Mason walked in, looked at me funny and said “Stop Mommy. You get down. You’re going to get hurt!”
That kid cracks me up!!!
He even says ‘ridiculous’ and ‘that’s a knee slapper’ now!!!
Funny 2 YO sayings..
Mason was looking at a big bag of stuff going to Salvation Army. Inside was a white plastic bag of clothes.
Mason: “Is that pretzel make?”
(He saw the Auntie Anne’s ppl making pretzel’s at HEB the other day and it looked like the dough under plastic)
Imelda: “No, that’s not pretzel dough.”
Mason: “Oh, probably soccer poop! HAHAHA”

Mason climbing
I took Mason to the park yesterday. Matt has been taking him recently so I had no idea this little 2 year old could climb this wall with no problem. He went straight for it with no fear!
They are so brave!
