I normally do not post about certain subjects just because I find that people are VERY opinionated when it comes to children and what we as parents should or should not do. By the way, that really bugs me. It is ok to say what you think, I will listen, but it is another thing to imply that my choices are wrong. For instance, someone asked me if I was going to have another kid? My reply was no. She came back with you don’t want to give your son someone to play with?
Oh that made me so mad.
One, my child gets a lot of my attention.
Two, he has a dog
Three, he goes to playgroups of various kinds each week
It was the fact that she basically said I was depriving my kid.
She does not know my situation and that I am pretty sure I could not handle another child. I know my limitations and will not put myself in a situation that I could not handle. That would be worse for Wingnut then the lack of a brother or sister.

Anyways, the whole point to this little rant is I am going to talk about my child’s schooling and what we decided to do till kindergarten then we will do more research and evaluations. After a lot of consideration, my child’s personality, and research we have decided to do the Montessori method. There are some things I will be doing a tad different but the core will be the same. Here is a link if you do not know what it is . There is quite a bit to it but the part that I was most drawn to was the instilling independence part. Wingnut is already very independent and is his happiest when he can do things himself. He was extremely grumpy as a baby but once he started to crawl he got happier. When he started to walk he got even happier. So, because he turned two over the weekend I figured it was time to get my butt in gear and start teaching him. That is what I have been doing lately and it has been taking up a lot of my quilting time Unfortunately for those quilters who come to my blog to read about quilting, there more than likely will be a tad less quilting and more schooling posts. I apologize now. But I guess that is why I called my site Zonnah’s addictions because it changes depending on what stage I am at in my life.

Because I am new at this I thought I would start slow and with the easy stuff like some practical life exercises. We did the bean pouring exercise which went very well until he decided that he must dump them all over the floor

Then we are doing the opening closing box, but he is not a big fan of this one.

Also, they say you should give them there own cleaning supplies to help you around the house. So I gave him a squirt bottle filled with water and he started to clean his quad
