The Wiblets

So I wanted to share our new additions in our home library. I love the theme of these books, they hold great life lessons within the colorful pages.

Zire is self reading now and "Demanding Dudley" has been a great way for him to connect to the good feelings that follow using our manners. I also love that the lesson and illustrations is presented in way he can relate with, being a ''Demanding Dudley" himself sometimes. Its been a helpful source to go back to when his demanding attitudes come out for show.

The book he's reading in the video is "What We Do After School" this book is a awesome sing-along to promote consistency with our home routine after camp (later on school).

Mommy approved!

Traveling Basket

Looking for an idea to keep your little ones entertained in the car?

Meet our traveling basket for all ages! This idea started because Zire constantly brings toys and things from home into the car to play with (hence the basket). The basket lives in the car and always has variety of things for him to do with boundaries. There are those common rules that he is responsible for keeping up with. For example when we leave the car everything goes in the basket and we rotate his toys and books to keep it minimal and inviting.

What's in there?

- Note Pad (to write and color on)

- Coloring Book

- Crayons, Pencil

- 4 Books

-Small Toys

You can adjust toys and books according to age and interest.

This traveling basket has also been a great way to apply appropriate responsibility while promoting creative play and literacy in his everyday life.
