As I mentioned, we have begun a home daycare. It's called "The Village." We offer a gentle-parenting/attachment-style approach to care. We play outside every day and we are getting crafty and trying lots of sensory play. I won't be putting pictures of our new friend(s) up here because I respect their privacy. But here are a few pics of some things we have been up to!
We have a new felt-board. Here are the boys making a felt person on the board. We also have letters and I will be cutting out more fun things for the board as we go. Shay thinks this is hilarious.
The felt person has some clothes and I had to cut-out some instruments as per Finlay's request: a couple of horns and a violin.
Here is Fin putting up an instrument. He also tries to play the felt horns ("I just pretending, Mama.")
Here is Fin's hand, with a sticker on it, playing with some home-made play-dough. It is pumpkin pie scented and edible but it is mostly salt so it doesn't taste good.
We also had some creatures to play with - this is A.'s creation (little one who we take care of).
Here is Fin playing in pink shaving cream - a sensory experience.
The car.
It feels cool.
All over him. The other kids wouldn't touch it. So it was a bit of a fail. Perhaps they are not used to sensory play. We have been doing it since Shay was born so Fin is pretty pro now. This was more messy than I expected. We will do it again but with more preparation.
We are having a lot of fun!
