Funny...lately Kate is INSANE to do anything "schooly". We have engaged her WAY too much for any mother who cares AT ALL for her sanity. Now, deep down I know this is good. But by this afternoon I had the girls in the basement looking for old Blues Clues videos!
I DO love it though. The unpureed veggies on the counter proved to be the favorite of the day. She was obsessed with them. She came and got each one of us a thousand times and made us chase after her until she reached the "mantle of veggies". We would say each one over and over and let her handle them. She was crazy for them and could say onion and broccoli pretty well! She also loved the scooping of beans and did amazingly well for 16 months. She scooped away and I didn't care when she moved on to doing it with her hands. Made me think perhaps larger items like cotton balls or blocks being placed from one container to another would also be a good thing. 400 books later, and we are trying to get her to "down time". Doesn't she know how to "veg out" the old fashioned way? I think not!

Yay Kate! I LOVE this age--repetition and working on skills. Fascinating to watch! My kids did both like the cotton ball/pom pom transfer. We used little tongs--very good for their hands.
