19th Month Week 1

Jackson and I talked about fathers all week in honor of Father's Day. Jackson learned where his belly was and his nose. He also knows where Mommy's belly is. I asked him where Cole was and he pointed to my belly and said "Dole."

We started the summer reading program at the public library. We are supposed to read 20 books over the summer. We read about 5 book a night so I have decided to just write down our favorite ones. Grammy went with us to the kickoff party for the summer reading program. There were story tellers, arts and crafts, Irish dancers and even therapy dogs that come and read with the kids.

I signed Jackson up for an art program in Cornelius. They are reading a new book each Friday and then have art stations based on the book. This week's book was "Little Smudge." We go to make a smudge using black paint and a dropper. There was also a station for gluing puzzle pieces, tracing shapes, stamping shapes and using a plastic scouring pad to blot paint. It was a lot of fun. The only problem was Jackson liked playing in the cleanup station the best.
