I have been doing all of this reading of crafty blogs lately that has inspired me. I am not sure why I have not done many crafts with Norah (and Harvey) but I haven't. I have been stuck doing a few things--reading, going to parks, visiting friends, etc.. Yesterday morning I got out some old magazines, markers, crayons and stamps and we had some fun in the kitchen. Norah drew Dr. Yerovi and I made a collage featuring Brian a gay fashion designer and myself as a rather homely blond.
We also spent some time at the library (you can't take pictures there!!??!). There were just so many books that they both wanted to read and so little time before a meltdown. While we were there, I picked up a copy of Rahima Baldwin's You are Your Child' First Teacherr. I am pretty interested in the Waldorf model of education, but I don't know enough about it to consider sending either Norah or Harvey to a Waldorf School. This book, while focused on the early years, should give me a better idea of what they are about.
We spent some time outdoors this afternoon after the kids woke. I finally planted those paper whites that have been sitting in a bag on our window sill for the past few months. The likelihood that they will actually bloom is not in our favor but it was a nice afternoon activity after all.
