TOT School Week Two

Thang One and Thang Two are 9 months old

This week was ball week during TOT school. (Okay I can't type that without laughing-I know I'm juvenile!) First the Thangs played in a pool filled with balls. Thang Two really liked it. She would sit in the pool and kick and kick. I think she really liked the sound it made. Thang One was more interested in putting things like books, toys, and her bottle into the pool and pushing it around the cage. (We have blocked off our entire living room and we call it The Cage!)

Two kicking in the balls.

One pushing it around

I had lots of balls for them to explore. One really liked the way the dryer ball felt in her hand.

And much to Daddy Thang's delight Two likes the basketball. I've already told him with my sports ability there is NO hope for the girls.

We have this book and we listened to Roll The Ball and worked on rolling the ball and the sign for ball.

We also read The Very Hungry Caterpillar this week. Doesn't really go with our ball theme but One was really fascinated with the holes in the book where the caterpillar eats through lots of different stuff.

And finally the Thangs loved playing Peek A Boo Barn on the iPhone.

Tot School Week One

Thang One and Thang Two are 9 months old

This is our very first TOT School post! This week we worked on IN/OUT. The girls have these Montessori toys that my sister found and bought them for Christmas. Thang 1 and 2 are really beginning to love playing with these. They have always loved the rattle but they are really starting to love the wooden toys too! Here is Thang 1 (please excuse the PJs)

The girls also enjoyed playing with their Jack-N-The Box. Here Thang One is trying hard to turn the crank on the box. She needed my help, though.

Thang Two is checkin' it out. She loved it at first but then later in the day it scared her when we played with it. She would stick her little lip out and cry. So cute!

One of Thang Two's favorite things to do is to pull all the books off the bookshelf. I am hoping this means she really loves books!

The girls really enjoy this book my mom got them for Valentine's Day. It's a recordable book so she is reading it. They try really hard to figure out where Grandmommy is hiding!

They also enjoyed playing with these egg shakers. Not so much an IN/OUT activity, but fun for them!
