How We Spend Our Days

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

So it kind of goes without saying that Jonah is a big fan of having a bigger house. There is soooo much more room to play and so much more to explore!! Though he has his own playroom (That sounds so decadent sometimes. Like he should have his own stable with a pony too.) he truly utilizes all of the room that this house has to offer.

He colors a lot these days, both with crayons and with chalk. Not surprisingly he often "writes" letters when he is coloring (his obsession with letters continues). He will take his coloring pad with him anywhere in the house and asks to go outside to play with "hawk" (chalk) constantly.

 

We got Jonah a rug for his playroom that looks like the map of a town. He plays on that a lot with his trains and cars.

 

Stacking blocks and putting things in neat rows continues to be a fun pastime too. He REALLY loves his Legos. Having Daddy make them into 3D letters is the end-all-be-all. (I have a really cute photo of Jonah playing with his Legos "au-natural" but I will spare him the future embarrassment this one time.)

  

Our house has a great porch that wraps around from the front to the side. It is fenced in on the side (which provides more great area to play... pictures from around there to be posted later) but is open in the front of the house. Sometimes Jonah likes to just sit on the front porch and look around, point out bees on the flowers and swing his legs back and forth off the side. Taking a few letters outside to build words while you are there never hurts either.

He's already sitting on the porch! Is it a few years 'til he has a banjo and a shotgun by his side? :)

He looks so much like his Daddy!!! Did he spell BOX because there were so many of them around while you were moving???
