Fall Sensory Bin and Light Table

Alex is busy, busy, busy!
He loves helping me make dinner and he loves to cut veggies with own little doggie knife!

Chopping Green Beans
He was SO excited to color with markers and watercolors with his sisters!
Tissue Art
Watercolor Acorn

We tried to learn about seasons and appropriate clothing. This game lasted only a few seconds and he was “done.”
Season Matching Cards
Our fall sensory bins. Alex loved playing with these clear plastic acorns and pumpkins on his light table.
Autumn Sensory Bin

I raided the dollar spot at Target. Lots of great stuff!
Fall Sensory Bin
H is for hippo. We started I for Iguana. We watched videos on BBC about hippos and iguanas. He actually narrated to Dad what he learned!

These little beetles took over the park. They were all different shades and patterns of red and orange and black. I think they’re fire bugs. Perfect name.

Alex loves watching Abby and Dinosaur Train and Diego.
Watching Sesame Street
Alex says he’s DONE WITH NAPS. Lord help me.
Alex’s attention span is about non-existent. I hope that changes over the next few months. Our schedule has been crazy keeping up with him and trying to get the girls’ schooling completed and chores done. He begs for constant companionship. He will not play alone so someone always has to be with him. This makes for sporadic lessons. Right now, it’s barely working for us.
Tori, Katie, and I do morning school with Alex while Liz gets her math, Greek, and other work completed. When she’s ready, she takes Alex outside or somewhere to play while I get some reading and lessons done with the girls. Then we have lunch and we try to get “one more thing” done after that. Some days we do. Often, Liz completes some history or science and the girls play with Alex.
So, this means no rest time or alone time for Mama or the girls.

Can you say exhausted?

Here is Katie playing Toca Boca Tea Party app with Alex. He is rather possessive of his Tea Party.

We’ve been continuing with out letter of the week with Tot School printables, but Alex isn’t really into all that  too much yet. He is learning his letters and colors though.

He loves to cook and play kitchen.

Daddy made us a new light box!

(All it is a plastic bin with rope lights. Daddy cut a hole in the side for the cord.)
DIY Light Table

Sorting Christmas tree branches by their colored tips. I love Alex’s expression here. I don’t know why he looked so mad, but he’s so cute!
