Cities, Curriculum and Forklifts! Oh My !

Owen is obsessed , with "Cities" we are always talking about cities, making cities or going to visit daddy at lunch in the city ! The other most recent obsession besides saying " No! Mama" like a 14 year old girl, complete with eye roll, are forklifts. Not only does he like going to Home Depot with Jason to see them in action, he will also point out things on pallets and tell you that a forklift put it there! I never imagined knowing so much about vehicles as I do already.

The other recent development is that I am doing some curriculum writing , yes for money! I promised Jason that I would find a way to make NTFFC more than just a hobby, and wasn't happy with the ad options. Just as I was feeling blue- I was contacted and asked if i would be interested in writing preschool curriculum for a rapidly growing company. Yes and YES! It's going well and I am excited to be doing something creative in early childhood education while staying at home with my forklift obsessed little man.

I almost forgot Owen has added a few new musical instruments to his list of favorites, that he "plays"- the cello was added after seeing Yo Yo Mah play during the inauguration. Wasn;t that music just breathtaking, even my little man stopped and climbed up into my lap and listened intently. What an amazing day. Here he is high fiving Obama right before the oath.

Oh but back to the instruments, today flute and harp entered his little symphony. Oh and a part of a breast pump got turned into a trumpet- a lactivits and a musician, a true renaissance toddler ! Below is his other favorite thing - the park. He loves this rope bridge and insists it's a troll bridge!
