Numbers and letters and rooms, oh my!

I have so many thoughts running through my head, so many things I know I should be updating on here. I feel like there is something new to share about the boys almost every day right now. So, I should really step up my game. (but realistically, that's probably not going to happen now, is it?)
We have officially moved the boys into the same room after a successful test run. Brady is doing so well at going to bed and being quiet so he doesn't wake up Kellen (who goes to bed earlier). We've had to change up rest time for Brady since Kellen is usually napping. He works on some worksheets and mazes for 30 min., then reads in our bed for 3o min. I think this is a HUGE improvement since he's actually being quiet and resting. (before he was playing "quietly" in his room and then "reading") Which brings me to the fact that Brady has started working on his letters and numbers. He loves tracing the letters and working on his writing. It's pretty awesome.



Of course, Kellen wants to do everything Brady does, so here's a shot of him "working" too. (Also, he is no longer happy with pretend writing and pleads with us to take the cap off for him to draw several times a day.)



And for those of you that are curious about the clothes strewn around our kitchen- we got some hand-me-down clothes and instead of putting them away right away, I let the boys play with them. They kept Brady entertained for hours! ha ha Okay, it wasn't that long but it was wonderful!

Rainy day art

I can't believe it's almost been a month already since my last post. I have no idea how those people who blog multiple times a week do it!
Anywho, I have been trying to do more art projects with Brady now that he's older and has a little bit longer of an attention span. :) One of the most recent things we have tried is "rain painting". You draw a picture with washable markers, then set it outside in the rain for however long you would like and then bring it in to dry. The rain makes all the marker run and make a crazy painting. Brady and I both made one and he insisted that mine go up on the fridge with his. I'm not sure when the last time was that I had artwork hanging on the fridge. ha ha

Brady's picture started out as a monster, but in the end, he decided it was a bad guy.




I drew a picture of a tree, grass and the sun. Enjoy!
