Aug. 7, 2008 - Plan B
Well, after a couple of days of a non-compliant Peanut (3) my hubby and I have decided to move on to Plan B. Peanut is clearly not willing/ready to do "official" school at this time. We'll see if he is in a couple of months. He's still little-bitty, so I'm not concerned. In fact, this could be a nice little blessing. It will give me time to get used to all of the other things we've needed to add in this year before adding Peanut into the mix as well. We will still be reading every day. Peanut loves books and it gives us nice one-on-one time together and snuggle time before and after (and sometimes during!) his brothers school time. Since I need to have activities to keep him busy, I'm reverting back to this list:
- (Mon) Playdoh / train track building with trains
- (Tues) Wedgits / shape stackers
- (Wed) Puzzles / Plastic dinosaurs with play mat
- (Thurs) Stamps / Melissa & Doug pattern blocks (mosaic set)
- (Fri) Magnetos / Paint
- extra options we have: Wikki Stix, Marble Run, number & shape puzzle cards, legos, sewing cards, shape sorter, stringing beads, coloring or a craft, Starfall.com.
Peanut also enjoys the Earobics program, so I'm not hesitant about letting him do that. Hopefully, all of these things working together will keep him occupied and happy so we can do our work with minimal distractions. Always have a Plan B when you have preschoolers! Now I need a Plan C . . . just in case!

I don't have a pre-schooler, but if I begin to do childcare again for my nieghbor, I will. I too was planning on some "activity centers" for her, while I do other schooling with my kids. Sounds like Peanut is a busy fellow and very much hands on! Plan B sounds good to me!
