Teddy Bear Train...the sequel!

We went on the teddy bear picnic train ride again this year. Love Bug and Jedi were so excited. We invited friends to join us this year too. 

Our conductor was very professional. Jedi said he things "he's a real train guy". He is. 

We LOVE the scenery

Love Bug's bear started doing tricks.

We met Goldie Locks! But the only bears we saw were the ones kids brought with them.

What a fun day!

Trains and Christmas Tot school

Love Bug is currently 34.5 months

We knew the holidays would throw a wrench in our Tot school plans, and they didn't disappoint!

This is actually two weeks worth of "school" but it was so scattered about that there isn't much to tell individually.

We spent some time working on math. Love Bug really enjoys her monkey math scale. She did a great job of matching number to see if they weighed the same.

We did some beading

Matched colors on our color mat

Played with the counting train

 Read train books

Did some conductor puzzles

and played with our newly made tactile matching balloons orginally found on Pinterest (LOVE)

TOTS TOGETHER
(Tots Together is a day each week a few parents of "home preschooled" tots get our kids together to socialize and practice being in a group setting while learning.)

We did a lot with trains!! Basically- that's all we did.

Tots together the following week didn't happen. Love Bug had a nice Christmas sensory box to play with and we did lots of Christmas activities together to get things done for the upcoming holiday. She loves helping wrap presents.

We took a trip to the mall to see the huge train display

And....Santa!!!

We adopted an Elf on the Shelf and he's been creating mischief every night. Love Bug runs downstairs first thing each morning to find him and see what he did!

We love the Christmas season!!

We're on vacation until after the New Year! Happy Holidays!
