Wishlist Wednesday: AHHHHH I NEED THIS SO BADLY edition

If y'all have read this blog for awhile, you know I'm a science nerd. I majored in physics. I've had a lifelong love of science. This week's Wishlist Wednesday is a science item that I've wanted pretty much my whole life and yet have never obtained. 

Bird Feeder Craft for Kids: A Messy & Fun Way to Spend Part of an Afternoon Together

How to Make Your Own Vinegar- Dyed Rice (It's SO Easy!)

I made colored rice for Froot Loop and Cocoa Puff's sensory bins. It was really easy, took a reasonable amount of time (most of the time was drying time), took only a few ingredients, and has become something we play with pretty frequently. 

Handprint Christmas Wreath Craft: So You'll Always Remember How Little Their Hands Are

Exhausted: What Being a Special Needs Mom Means To Me

People wonder why I’m so exhausted all the time. After all, I work from home and my oldest is in pre-k all day. My toddler is relatively low maintenance except for those days he decides he’s two years old. 

Wheee! 17 Nintendo Wii games for Toddlers and Preschoolers to Play as a Family

Yes, You read that right. Wii games for toddlers. We got a Wii last year for Christmas and we have a family game night with it on Friday nights. We have such a good time laughing together. I'm going to recommend a few games for Toddlers and Pre-K kiddos in case you want to start your own family tradition game night. 

Please take note: I do not recommend toddlers playing the Wii unsupervised, and as always, make sure you set limits appropriate for you, your kids, and your family. Some kids may be fine with several hours of Wii playing per week, while others can only handle 15-20 minutes. Do what is best for you. Everything in moderation. Go outside, play, do crafts, play board games, do puzzles, cook together. Just spend time with your kids. All I'm saying is that this is another way of doing this.

Both of the boys needed minimal help (just supervision), and I'm so happy with how they turned out!

It's Report Card Time! How did Froot Loop do in his first 6 weeks of Full-Day Pre-K?

Well, we've already completed the first six weeks of the school year (really 5, but whatever, I don't pretend to understand how that all works). I had my parent-teacher conference last week with Froot Loop's teacher.
