When Baby Brother Sleeps

John Turner is a very good big brother. Since school is now out for summer, John Turner is home with us all morning.  He spends a lot of time playing with Judson. He tries to play with things that he thinks Judson will like. He teaches him how to play with the trains on the train table, how to build tall towers with the blocks(which he only likes to knock down), how to cook in the play kitchen and how to sing and dance with the radio. He is very patient and understanding with him!




Judson still takes a morning nap. When he goes down for his morning nap I get at least an hour or more of one on one time with my big boy! I treasure this time with him! Here are a few things we enjoy doing together while baby brother sleeps.

We usually spend some time reading our new library books that we have recently checked out. I love to have him all snuggled up in my lap exploring new books or reading some of our favorites!



I try to get some learning time in too! We practice counting, alphabet sounds, spelling words and writing his name. He is not doing too bad with his name for a three year old! Plus it is a really long name! 


We usually have some art time as well. John Turner is very much into painting at the moment. On this day he painted a picture of a sun, a tree and some clouds. We also get the play dough out very often! The boys also LOVES some glitter! I try to avoid glitter art as much as possible! HA HA!




We also enjoy doing puzzles together. I enjoy so much watching his little brain work while he is putting together a puzzle!


And some days, we just sit outside and chill with a cold drink and enjoy the peace and quiet!! 


And then some days, even big brother likes to snuggle up and take a rest in the mornings!
