Today when I was doing my grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, I noticed the great back-to-school sales on supplies, so got a few more crayons, scissors, and the like.
Then I was inspired to clear off some room from my increasingly stuffed home school shelves in the kitchen and put some supplies into plastic drawers I already had. I've now stored them in the pantry, which has a childproof handle on the door knob. John can get into it with a lot of effort, and mostly he just doesn't bother, so I think the system will be pretty safe for now.
I noticed that I really dropped off on doing little arts and crafts projects with John. Upon review, I think it is because Mary reached about a year old and began making project time with John very difficult because she simply couldn't do anything he was doing, yet she wasn't satisfied anymore to sit on the floor and play with baby toys. So, I just stopped. But now she is old enough that she can imitate him in her toddler way with crayons and markers, so I'd like to start anew with some more school-like projects. John really does enjoy them.
