Leaf Rubbing
On Wednesday's after putting Eeva-liisa on the bus it's just me andthe boys; Ian, Everett and baby Harrison. I enjoy our time together very much. Ian is really getting into the fingerplays, stories and artisitic activities that make up the program. Sometimes I underestimate his ability to remember and recite the verses, he has surprised me many times over the past couple weeks when I over hear him teaching a verse or fingerplay to his sister. I'm a firm believer that the age of 3 is more difficult then the all so famous "terrible twos" but I'm also seeing that it is a year of big acheivements and wonderful little surprises. At least thats what I tell myself when Ian is having a meltdown:)......So while the younger two were napping Ian and I did some leaf rubbings and talked about the leaves and which tree we thought they came from. He thought it was "weird"(his word) that leaves have veins just like people do. Towards the end of our artisitic session Ian decided it would be cooler to build a house out of the beeswax crayons instead. He's such a boy!
My vision for this blog is to give the parents of THE NESTa place to view what their children have created, experienced & discovered during the day. I look forward to sharing with you... A day in the nest:)
Finding joy living with and around children has led me to open The Nest, a nature-inspired family daycare. Each day I strive to be worthy of imitation and to create a naturally rich environment filled with exploration, creative play and purposeful work. I hope to provide a place of warmth, order and beauty for the children in my care. I am a mother to 3 young ones and a wife to a man who makes me smile. I have vowed to spend "my next 30 years" experiencing the wonder of childhood and exploring my 4 hidden passions: knitting, yoga, guitar & pottery.
