Busy week

12/21/2011


At this point all of Matilda's classes have ended for the semester and yet we find ourselves with more classes than a normal week.


Nest is offering a bunch of different classes during winter break which is awesome. Mat is getting an extra art class and two extra music classes this week!


Plus, on top of the busy schedule, it has decided to rain (yet again) and B's parents are in town for the holidays. It's definitely a whirlwind!

Trying on the hat that Grammy knitted for her. She also has a smaller, matching one for monkey.

Soo nice to have a nice day to enjoy the playground!

A month or so ago I made the connection that Matilda puts her fingers in her mouth when she is nervous or uncomfortable, especially in new situations. This connection makes a lot of sense in retrospect. Ellen had told me that Matilda just started putting her hands in her mouth the week I started working with her and continued to do so until we were all settled in Philly and she was used to her classes and teachers. Here she is sitting in a "new" art class at nest. She did not know the teacher or any of the other students.

"Lady Bug" is the newest addition to nest's free-play space. Matilda is obsessed with her and loves to bounce against her.

Hanging like a monkey!

Matilda loves the tumbling track

This picture is absolutely precious!

Our last night in Los Angeles I took Matilda to dinner while J and B had a dinner obligation. I forgot to bring crayons to entertain Mat so I improvised. I tore open the chop-sticks and we used them as if they were drum sticks. We brought those "drum sticks" home and now we'll drum to pass time. Rest assurred, Santa Claus" is bringing Matilda a real drum for Christmas.

Matilda is very facinated by my boyfriend, Jeremiah. I was texting him while she was eating her snack so she asked if we could send him a picture. This was the product.

Matilda was soo happy to be back on a playground!

Grammy brought Matilda Reindeer ears!
