Time At Home

I think we are finally getting into a groove with me being on maternity leave, Mattey back at school and starting baseball, and having the girls both home with me. Kelsey does go to daycare a few days a week to socialize with her friends and keep in a routine, but most days is home with me. I am attempting to make a routine for the days Kelsey is home. Morning time is sort of our "school time." Mary does preschool with the kids at daycare and Kelsey really likes it, so we have been working on letters and numbers at home. She is getting really good at identifying letters. (Which one is K?) She can verbally spell her name, but is not able to write it yet. For numbers, she can count to 20 and also 1-5 in Spanish. I love seeing her develop and be so excited to try it all. We have also been doing art in the morning. She likes to color and paint. After lunch is nap time and then when she wakes up, she gets to choose what we do. Usually she chooses to watch a movie or show, play the piano, play hide and seek, or read books. Those seem to be her favorites right now. Of course I cuddle Megan while we do most of these things so she is right in there with us ;) Megan continues to be such a good baby. She has been sleeping for 4 hour stretches at night, and only wakes once which allows me some pretty decent sleep. She has a ton of really expressive looks already which I am trying to catch on camera. I did manage to get her mid-yawn which I thought was priceless. On the days it is just Megan and I, I tend to just sit and look at her and cuddle her. We are just so fortunate to have her in our family.
It is Spring now, but you can't tell from the snow still on the ground. I can't wait until it is warm enough that we can be outside going for walks, going to the park, and playing in the yard. Life is good!
