OT Homework - Eyes

Time Together

Watching the Inauguration of President Biden

Taking turns doing their math facts apps. Levi doesn’t do tablet work...he just likes to do whatever the bros are doing.

More OT homework

Hanging with grandma

Fresh books from the library 

Daddy worked late and Mommy didn’t cook...pizza and a movie. 

Stepping Stones

I’ve been wanting stepping stones for the boys for a long time and I finally found what I was looking for! 







I also bought the balance board that goes with the stepping stones because of all the fun combinations they create. 

Projects

We’re working on organizing and purging in the basement to prepare for a lot of work to be done on the basement walls. Time to give them a tune up at 90 years old. 

I’ve been working on putting a little beef back into our diet, for everyone but Levi. This chili was made with Dr. P beef. And Kim made me runzas! And the shaved beef that Aldi has been stocking makes amazing stir fry. 

I did a little revamp on the playroom just to boost morale and change things up a bit. I’ve always gone for maximum storage, but now that we have so much room, I decided to go for cute/fun display. 

The boys got some Christmas money from Uncle Steve (thanks Steve!) so we put it toward OT equipment for home. It’s from Germany, so it won’t be here until the end of January/beginning of February. Germany makes so many cool toys. 
I haven’t done much with the living room since we moved in, but the new green couch and the pieces from my grandparents have inspired me a bit. We finally found some bookshelves that fit on either side of the fireplace (built ins are WAY too expensive), but IKEA only had one in stock. I’m going to go with green/white/wood/gold decor. Now I have to figure out how to magically make the maroon chairs not maroon. (You know you have enough Christmas decorations when you’re too tired to redecorate the mantle once all the holiday decor is finally put away.)

Brothers

It’s been making me sad lately that there’s no easy way for the boys to be with friends. It makes me very glad they have each other. 

What Lewis Has Been Up To

Reading!!! He will only read a chapter book if it’s for school, so guess what his daily assignment is? 20 pages in a chapter book. He also likes to read Garfield. 

Lewis likes to give talks on whatever topic the audience suggests. 

Poor kid had a rough week at OT. His vestibular system was a bit overworked, and he ended up getting sick for about 1.5 hours after therapy. 


These moments are the best moments of homeschooling. 

Playing with his new fairy garden he got for Christmas!

What Levi Has Been Up To

Mastering his peg puzzle 

Feeding his baby

Holding the scissors perfectly but not cutting the paper at all

Entering the code to the playroom
Being the BEST toddler I’ve ever known around train tracks. Not only does he play with them, he doesn’t destroy them!

Trying out his Montessori-esque homemade toy

Dot painting, but he prefers to paint his hands to paper

His first assist on an IKEA build!

Staying busy while I cook.





Wearing his mask for the first time! The secret is - drum roll please - put the binki in his mouth under the mask! He kept it on like a pro! (We were at the dermatologist because his eczema was a raging beast.)

He was very busy taking notes while we waited for the doc. 

Exploring the new play room shelving/display. 

Every single boy has loved this little doll house set. 



We built a track together and he drove cars on it for quite a while. He likes to line them up on the road.
