Somewhat lazy Monday

Not working too hard today for sure.
We even changed our regular routine. Granted D. is a kindergartner so there's not too much pressure to keep up with "schoolwork".
We are skipping writing practice worksheets because D. just acquired some pen pals (kids of my friends from a message board)   for both languages and he was busy composing some notes. He managed pretty fine for his age and level I think. And he packed letters in envelopes before I was able to get a camera in my hands.
I didn't expect his English writing be this good, he really made progress. I think this game helped a lot

he's been crazy about it lately and it sure pays off.

We also learned a little bit about senses today, especially sense of touch. We did a simple experiment:
I hid some toys with different textures in a sack and D. had to touch them and guess what they were. Then he had to try and do it again this time with gloves on his hands.

The second part of this experiment was to cover his eyes with thick scarf and guide him around the house. I made him touch different things- banister (metal), couch (leather), cat (warm fur), stuffed animal (man made fur), dishwasher (cool plastic), sink (ceramic), dinner table (wood)- he had the most fun with this one I think :) We had to repeat it and this time he had to guess which toy he was handled and whose hand he touched (baby C.- tiny soft hands, mom- big coarser hands).

We had another decent snowfall yesterday and it's a magic winter realm outside.

We even had a visit from a little neighbor:)
