Here are some of the wonderful pictures that I captured today.
Some of our activities today centered around Michaela's book, "Nap Time For Slippers." Michaela's sister, Carissa, read the story to all of us. We made dog treats from scratch and I've posted the recipe and pictures of the children grimacing at the smell. It really did smell like dog food!
3 Small Jars (21/2 oz.) of 2nd stage baby meat (we used turkey & rice)
9 tbs. of powdered milk
13 tbs. wheat germ
Mix all together. Mold in shapes. Bake at 350* for 12 minutes. Store in refrigerator.
We fed our treats to Rooney. I couldn't tell if he liked the store bought biscuit or the homemade biscuit best...he gobbled them both up so quickly :-) Andrew told me, "But I did not make that dog treat. Nannie made them. I played."
Laura- Andrew told you the truth. He did not help us that day. He usually does but I did not pull him away from the activity that he was doing.
I gave Rooney the treats today and he went for the ones we made first. He ate the biscuits last. Does that mean he saved the best for last? I think he liked ours best:-)
Thanks for always commenting. I think that Desiree would but she said that she has not figured out how to do it yet. Desiree, if you are reading this, I can assure you that there is NO math involved.
A favorite quote:
"No way. The hundred is there.
The child
is made of one hundred.
The child has
a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking
A hundred always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling of loving
a hundred joys
for singing and understanding
a hundred worlds
to discover
a hundred worlds
to invent
a hundred worlds
to dream.
The child has
a hundred languages
(and a hundred hundred hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine.
The school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child:
to think without hands
to do without head
to listen and not to speak
to understand without joy
to love and marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
They tell the child:
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
They tell the child:
that work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:
No way. The hundred is there."
