TOT SCHOOL

This week was a lighter week because I had to babysit 3 kids one day and Eva wasn't feeling great. We reviewed all the colors and animals we have learned so far, matched mittens to the kitten's coat, read about A Blind Man named Bartimaeus in the Preschooler's Bible, and colored greeting cards.

 

And just for laughs... it was a bad case of the Monday's and trying to get into the groove again after a holiday for Mercer Man!
