Cupcakes and Commentary

Super A received a rocking horse for his first Christmas from my parents. When he was very little he liked it. When he got older he was scared of it. Then he was okay with it as long as you didn’t press its ears to make it neigh. But now. Fear, conquered.

I haven’t done lessons of the week lately because we are working on potty training. Which is without a doubt completely frustrating! Super A jumps back and forth daily from being really interested to not interested at all. I am working to be very consistent and patient with him but more than a few times [...]

We began a little finger paint project last week. I basically had Super A choose colors, then layer tape, and choose more colors, and then choose a shape, and then I painted the first letter of his name in the center. So here is our project in steps: Step 1: Super A chose, blue, green, [...]

It is actually a two part recipe, and takes a little time, but once you make it, you can stretch it across several meals! First you [...]
