A weekend full of big motor skill activities

After E's basketball practice on Saturday we raced home to pick up everyone's skiis, then headed out for some fun. E has finally mastered the ski lift and we needed to get it on videotape. Personally I do not understand the attraction for outdoor winter sports; it was cold!

Sunday we had planned to head down to New Canaan to watch our cousin play a soccer game, but then friends came out and the sunny weather erased all thoughts of going anywhere.

A personal highlight for myself this weekend was while making juggling balls with E. He had several handfulls of beans to get into the small opening of a balloon, so I made him a funnel out of some sturdy cardboard. It was so amazing to see his face light up when he comprehended the use of this simple thing. It was one of those "aha" moments that every homeschooling parent adores.
