I realize it’s been a little while since I updated on Pomme’s sleeping arrangements. Basically, after the three days I previously blogged about, she went back to sleeping in her bed in our room for a couple days. She had a cold and was cranky, who can blame her? However, within a few days, she [...]

Weather Chart
by heather
Blog-surfing tonight via Tot School, I found this blog, which mentioned a weather chart activity appropriate for preschoolers which she obtained from this blog. Whew! Ain’t the blogosphere grand? Pomme has become fascinated with weather and day/night recently. Every morning, she asks if the sun is up, and bedtime is becoming easier because she has [...]

Her First Representational Drawing
by heather
Pomme is almost 2.5 now, and just drew her first person. I guess saying her first “representational drawing” isn’t 100% accurate, because she has been drawing “with intent” for awhile. She has drawn rough oval shapes, thrown speckles into them, and said “whale!” But this was different. Tonight, she said “draw mommy.” She drew a [...]

My Daughter is the Cutest. Toddler. Ever.
by heather
And I’m NOT just saying that because I’m her mother. Well, maybe I’m just a little bit influenced by that. But we do hear that an awful lot even from strangers… Don’t want to take my word for it? Have a look for yourself. Here she is cuddlin Gunther the “orange cat”, who she used [...]

Video: My 2-year-old Can Crack Eggs– Montessori, Practical Life, and Cooking Skills
by heather
As I’ve mentioned before, we are following a Montessori-inspired philosophy with Pomme’s toddlerhood. Following her interests, she has ample opportunity to learn through self-motivated exploration. At this age, the emphasis is more on “Practical Life” skills than on ‘academics.’ She learns primarily through observation, imitation, and experimentation, as indeed human beings are designed to learn!

Creatively Combining
by heather
Today Pomme was playing/working with her wooden shape puzzle by Melissa and Doug, and the shape-matching cards I had made to go with it, when I noticed something interesting. She had received Melissa and Doug’s clock shape puzzle for Christmas… or her birthday. I’m ashamed to say I can’t remember which. I think it was [...]

Move, Daddy: Toddler Logic
by heather
Pomme was in one of those crazy hyper giddy toddler moods tonight. You know, when they’re so tired that they’re wired? She’s generally a pretty calm and serious kid, (and when did she get old enough that I started calling her a ‘kid‘??) but when she gets hyper, she goes full gusto. With Flipper as [...]
