Today Addison asked to pour beans, which is a Montessori Practical Life activity. We had already watered the wilting houseplant, and this turned in to a morning of polishing, pouring and washing- and they loved it. It always amazes me not only how much they enjoy these activities but that they ask to do them and stick with them for quite a long time. As Charli and Ivy get older, I will love having these out on the shelves again :-)
We did get outside today but I did not bring the camera.
