Meredith has been really interested in dinosaurs lately. We’re going to Calgary at the end of the summer for my sister’s wedding, and so we thought we’d go to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller while we’re there. Looking around the site at all the cool programs and camps they have really got me thinking about [...]

I can’t remember if I posted this, but a little while ago Meredith became very interested in the ABC games on the Starfall website. Just through playing those, she started to learn letters and could recognize some letters when we saw them in other situations. For Christmas, she had got some alphabet cards which I had [...] I had wanted to keep up with the weekly Unplugged projects, but through the summer we spent a lot of time outdoors and it fell to the wayside. This last week Meredith wasn’t feeling well and had no interest in going outside, getting dressed, or really doing much besides cuddling on the couch. In my search [...] We found a wasp nest in the forest last week. I think it is a paper wasp nest. I’ve put it in the bathroom over the heater for now to dry out. Eventually once Meredith’s room is done I’d like to make a shelf in there to put things like that on. When we have our [...] Meredith was loving A Bug’s Life for a while, so a few weeks ago Kris drew her an anthill covered in ants. Then a few days ago she wanted ants drawn again, and of course he complied. Today she was sitting drawing while I was doing other things, and afterwards brought it to me and told [...] We spent this past weekend in Tofino with Kris’ dad and little brother. Overall, the trip was a lot of fun. I think Meredith had a blast playing on the beach and climbing on rocks. I get motion sick, though since I’ve become an adult it hasn’t been bad at all. But last time I was [...] This is another idea I got out of the same book as the transportation project. It’s an experiment most people I know of have done, but I’d never thought of doing it with dish soap before. We mixed vinegar with food colouring and glitter, squirted in a squirt of dish soap to each jar, and then [...] I’ve been following this blog with interest for a long time now, but never had the inspiration to actually participate in any of the weekly Unplugged Projects until now. I can think of lots of fun things to do, but none that might interest an almost two year old. Last week’s theme was transportation. I happened [...] My sister-in-law pointed me to a great blog post today that was written by a kid who was unschooled his whole life, and then decided to try going to school. I really love reading experiences from unschooled kids so I thought I would share it. I found the comments about socialization interesting since often that is [...] Some tidbits from the past few weeks and more: Meredith has been enjoying helping to dress herself for a while now. I kind of wish I’d taken more notice on when it started, not that it matters but I like to write things like that down in her baby book. Probably before she turned a year, but [...] |
