I mentioned in my last post that my father has been sick. He passed back on April 24th. I haven't really felt much like blogging. Alex has taken it rather well...but we've just had a compilation of other things also going on. Her favorite Aunt Jenny moved to Georgia this week and my husbands father is moving to Louisiana at the end of the month. I hate how she feels like she's lost/loosing both grand dads at the same time. Not to mention, Mr. Fish died after "someone" forgot to put chlorine drops in the water. So, it's been a little stressful around here to say the least. We're going out today to get a new fish.
On a happier note, we finally chose/were accepted into a wonderful established Montessori school for Alex next year. It's a little hike across town (we're spoiled becuase it's really only 20mins away), but after touring numerous schools, this was the one that Alex really loved. We're very happy it worked out.
Given everything going on, we've put most "lessons" on hold. Alex still reads her books, we've been planting vegetables, doing some art work and playing cards/Mighty Minds and writing/illustrating stories. Jordan is becoming more interested in books and very early Montessori work. Later this morning we have our 2nd family garden workshop and this evening there is a kids day celebration at a local park. I'm hoping to also make it by the Farmer's Market. Sounds like a busy day ahead......life goes on.
Here's the original painting by Picasso. Then Alex's interpretation (it's really an exercise in primary/ making secondary colors)
Lastly, Baby Jordan doing some cylinder and primary color work. I'm noticing she has a long (for a baby) concentration time already :)
