Fostering an Environment of Learning in the Home

I was feeling guilty about boring Liam with the same old toys and the same old schedule, so I decided to surprise him with a couple ingenious ideas I found on Pinterest.  The blog I got the ideas from (http://www.imperfecthomemaker.com/?s=toddler) is adorable and I was excited to give them a shot.  Here are the two I tried:





And here were the results:

 Pulling the tube off the wall to chew on.


Bypassing the Sock Tunnel Cave of Wonders for the electrical outlet (don't worry, they're child-proof)


Finding more important things to do.


Terrorizing his parents.

Sorry Liam, but I am never taking you to Disneyland.


Baby Sign Language

Experts say babies can communicate well before they can verbalize.  As such, parents who teach their babies sign language can actually communicate with their little wordless wonders.  I think I have an advanced child, because I've never taught him sign language and yet he signs to me all the time!  Just watch.

Liam can say "All done!"



Liam can say "All you do is talk." Rude, I know.

Liam can say "Want some?"

and Liam can say "More."


I always knew I had a gifted child.
