Sports Week!

I have recently decided (thanks to a few friends) that we are going to spend more time learning and not just mindlessly playing all day. So I pick a subject every week to learn about and then I try to do something with Jeffers everyday to help him learn about it. On Monday we read a ton of books about sports and we talked about all the different balls (he is only two).
On Tuesday we colored pictures about the various sports. Jefferson is really getting into coloring lately. He'll go get the crayons and paper while I am getting ready in the morning and be very content. After that we made Sports magnets so he can learn the different types of balls. He really loves these things and they were so easy!

Today (Wednesday) we took an adventure to the local park where they have a really nice outdoor court. It is such a nice day and we had it all to ourselves for a good long while. We brought the basketball and the soccer ball. Jefferson just really loves to kick things. He had so much fun because the hoops are easy to adjust and we put one really low. He thought it was great we I helped him "slam dunk".

Look at that form. Give it a few years and he will rock the court!

Even I had a really good shooting day.

Nothing but net!!

Me and the little stinker. It's been fun so far-tomorrow we are going to the library and on Friday we are going to make granola bars for snacks while we play sports. Jefferson loves to help in the kitchen and I want to encourage him all I can in that area. Maybe it will help him to not be such a picky eater!
