I've had some one-on-one time with both of my kids in the past couple days. It is so precious to be able really focus on each of them for a short while. Dori and I played with the silks and dress ups. We read and sang songs and danced and read books and more books while his brother was off skiing and playing with his grandparents.
And yesterday Dori went down early for his nap and stayed asleep longer than usual so Ari and I had some extra time for snuggles and more book reading together. We spent a lot of time looking at his "quiet time book." I've been wanting to share this terrific book here since we got it awhile ago. It is called "
In the Town all Year Round" and it is such a good one. It is a wordless book that follows dozens of characters through the seasons. There is so much to see on each page, but the images and themes are gentle and sweet- a kindergarten is built, a baby is born, children prepare for a lantern festival. It works really well as a quiet time book- Ari will spend ages pouring over the pages on his own. And it makes for a lovely mama-kid-time book too.
What sweet photos of your little ones! I will have to look for that book - it looks great :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and Blessings to you, sweetie. I am thankful that your blog is serene and light and real. I always feel whole and peace when I come here.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to spend time with each of my boys one-on-one. My three year old almost always sits with me in the kitchen while I cook meals and while it's not playing together, it's really a nice thing to share.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like great book- I just added it to my Amazon wish list!
I am a new visitor and wanted to say hello.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool book I will have to look that up.
By the way,I make dragon tail costumes on Etsy that would look great with that hat!
Hi there, I just came across your blog and wanted to comment.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, you really seem to have a beautiful life and I love all of your pictures and descriptions. We too are a Waldorf family.
Also, this book Around the town all year round is a favorite in our home. It entertains our little guy for quite awhile because there is so much to look at.
I am going to keep checking in to your blog. I like it!
