Yesterday we went to the local (French) school for the activity of the month. Xavier just crawled or walked around along the furniture, playing with various toys as he went. Emma enjoyed all the activities, which included a storytime followed by make your own story. She had a lot of fun making her own story (with Maman's help of course). Afterwards, paper was laid out on the floor where Emma laid down and let me trace her. We then clued on hair and eyes and coloured in a nose, smile and some clothes. Of course, I forgot to bring this one home, but we did remember to bring her story home.
Once we were finished with our traced out Emma, all the kids played together, while the Maman's sat around watching them and gabbing. It was a very good morning. This classroom is set aside especially for "le mini centre cree", which is a place where stay-at-home preschoolers can come and play, join in different activities, borrow various age appropriate games and so fourth with their parents (usually their maman's).
I have signed up both kids for L'heure du conte (storytime) and Toi, moi et la mere l'oie (You, me and mother goose), through the centre. The programmes start in October and am really looking forward to it. Richard will be taking the kids to the sing-a-long class (mother goose), which should be interesting since his knowledge of French is very minimal. Hehehe.
While reading some of the other blogs I follow .New Mommy Rant, I came across this sheep game. You should give it a try. I came up as bobbin bobcat, but only after many tries, I primarily came up as sluggish snail. Bah
