Mama May I

Adrienne is ahead of the game. I'm not even being biased. Her pediatrician said that she is way beyond a four year comprehension level. And she just turned three. She can count to twenty in Spanish, counts to fifty in English, recites and can also write out her ABC's, can spell and write her name, and knows where she lives. And she is a boss at the Subway Surfers app. Those are just a few of the things off the top of my head. Just give me the teacher of the year award now.

I couldn't really accept that trophy, though. I haven't even begun to actually "teach" her. She has basically picked up those things by herself. I have never ingrained anything. I focus more on fun. Like spelling her name out in a song. Or drawing pictures with letters. Being three should be all rainbows and unicorns. All. the. time. Okay. It really isn't. It's sunshine and glitter, like, less than half of the time. The other half deals with tantrums. And time outs. And lots of wine for me.

Since we are talking about schoolin' kids, let's talk about toys that teach. Mama May i, a company who specializes in learning toys, sent Adrienne a Chick A Dee play set. I am totally big on wooden toys. If you are an avid reader of my blog, you know that. I love how simplistic wooden toys are, but can hold a child's imagination longer than a plastic toy that yaps. Amiright or am I right? Right.

My child literally played with this bird and his bowl of eggs for an hour straight. The first thing she did was get her Little People fairy playhouse out, because it had a tree for the bird to nest in. Makes since. See? My kid is a genius. Then she hid the little eggs around the house and made the grown up kids, aka her parents, find them. If I would have known a little stuffed bird and wooden eggs would keep her so entertained, I'd have gotten some sooner. The more you know. I guess.

Mama May i has so many colorful wooden toys to choose from. Like this Fairy Friends set, which comes in all the different colors of the rainbow. How adorable is that? We adopt fairies on the reg and are always on the look out for new fairy habitats.
