Jerry Seinfeld once said that "a two year old is kind of like having a blender, but you don't have the top for it."
While my little guy is not quite two, my life with him often feels like running a blender without the top on it. From climbing on tables to separating each individual pair of socks he owns, there is never a dull moment with my sweet T.
In an attempt to channel the eventual spread of mess from the top of the blender into something productive, I have become intentional with our activities. This blog is a record of the activities I have planned and implemented, each in accordance with a theme we have chosen for the week, in an effort to provide my son with as many brain-growing experiences as I can.
Please note that, while I am a former educator, I do not claim to be an expert in Early Childhood Education. Teaching a 16 year old is a whole different ball game than parenting a 16 month old. I also do not claim to have developed these activities entirely on my own. Some are my own creation, but I give credit where credit is due. My intention is not to provide an objective or assessment based curriculum for toddlers, just a resource for parents like myself who are looking for ways to introduce new experiences (and a little structure) to their children's days.
