Tot School ~ Only Child
~Ladybug is currently 14 months old~
I have been living the only child life around here with the boys gone, so Tot School has been going on TONS! I have spent so much time just soaking in every ounce of my sweet baby girl. It’s a wonder I have gotten any work or planning done, she just mesmerizes me with her cuteness.
I gave her spools in an empty pitcher and a paper towel tube. She played for a long time by herself and then I showed her how to put the spool into the tube, she immediately caught on and loved trying it herself! She was quite challenged but could do it!![]()
Bubble wrap and balls…so simple yet so much fun!
Then I added in a laundry basket for her to dump the balls in and roll them around. She was hilarious trying to reach in to get them out!!!![]()
She is in LOVE with my little magnets. I don’t even remember when or where I got these. She puts them on, takes them off, stacks them, and adores them!![]()
She is a piggy bank master now! This is one of her favorite toys and has been for awhile. I highly recommend this toy for babies {Krash loved it too and still does}. ![]()
My mom got her the Melissa and Doug magnetic dress-up doll at a consignment sale recently. I knew she was too young for it but wanted to show her how the magnets work, I am glad I did—she loved it! The girl had some funky outfits when Ladybug was done with her!![]()
A metal bowl, wooden spoon, and some play food goes a L-O-N-G way with a tot! I taught Ladybug how to stir and she was so cute trying to actually stir them herself!![]()
I gave her this watering can we have that has a small hole on the top. She had LOADS of fun putting things into it. I found lots of things that just barely fit so she would ahve to work at it!![]()
This is one of her favorite toys. It was also the first toy she learned to “work” many months ago. She still giggles at it and will push the button over and over again to make them go around.![]()
This girl adores books! She reads by herself all the time. This is in her bedroom…
Her new favorite place to sit-the couch. She loves for me to put her up there to sit and read!
She is learning to eat with a spoon and doing really well!![]()
She is a standing machine now, not much movement, but lots of pulling up…finally!![]()
On another note-she saw Elmo this week and I do believe we have a fan. Neither of the boys cared much for Elmo, but I think Lbug might be different. She was so funny watching it!!!!

Love the pictures :) My daughter LOVES elmo...he often appears in my posts... :)
She is just too cute!!
I love watching little ones "read" books. Kayleigh has started repeating her favorite stories to herself. It just melts my mommy heart.
So cute! I don't even have a tot anymore, but I enjoy seeing how much she has grown. I think she looks a lot like you! I have three kids too, and it's always nice to have some one on one time with each of them. Enjoy!
It's amazing how much she looks like Krash.
I love the tot sized bookshelf. Can you post another picture or two so I can see how you put it together?
She is just beautiful! I love looking at pictures of her. Oh my.
She is absolutely beautiful...I see why you are soaking her in. We have four girls and I totally get it! When we only have one...or even just two at home, it's always such a neat time with them! Enjoy!!
Hi!! I'm so intrigued by the thing you have on the floor in Ladybug's room that is holding all of the books. What is that? I must have one!! I absolutely love all of your posts. I always think of you when I find things for my kids that I absolultely love. I thought of you this week when we were listening to Memory Songs Celebrating 12 Names of Jesus. We love that CD. I think Family Life did it, and it's cover says "Adore Him" on it. I downloaded it from I Tunes. Anyway..you pass so many wonderful things on to me, I wanted to share something with you! Have a great week.
She is SO beautiful! Those pictures are gorgeous! I can't wait for my daughter to grow some hair so I can put little pigtails in. so cute.
Great activities!
Wow! What a beauty! Our littlest is in love with books too!
OMGsh she is so adorable, I just want to squish her.
I LOVE HER! I want a girl! Maybe you will never hear me say that again come August. But this post just got my heart! What a special time for you both, Carisa! I love it! She has been a busy bee with her adorable brothers gone.
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50152595 It actually goes on the wall, but fell off cuz I didn't use drywall screws ;-) {my sweet husband needs to fix it}.
Thanks for sharing and thinking of me!!!!!
Which one? The white one in her room is this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50152595
The brown one in our school room is from Target {9 squares}
Oh how I hope you get your girl!!!! Either way that is going to be one LOVED baby in your home!!!! Not too much longer huh?
She is such a doll!! We have that piggy bank too and the girls love it. What a wonderful time you must be having with her to enjoy each other's couple.
What kind of shelf is that on the floor in her room? I love it!
I'm new this week (#26 on the linky list above). I love your blog Carisa. I've been following it for quite some time, but this is the first week I've been organized enough to separate our tot school stuff from my regular posts. :)
I just love seeing your little one in action- & your whole family- they are all so precious!! Carisa, your blogs seek to honor God- & it is so wonderful to see. It is a blessing to read about your family- thank-you for sharing!
I also love he idea of the bookshelf that is suppose to be on the wall on the floor! What a great way to display books for her to get her hands on! Those magnets are also from ikea - fyi, but like that is a shock...haha.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words ;-)
ha ha, now that you say that, I DO remember getting those magnets there too!!!!
I gave a link in one of the other comments on this post, it's from Ikea ;-)
Hi Carisa,
I have 4 boys, whom I love to pieces, but oh, this sweet, adorable little girl of yours is making me wish for a little girl, too! Oh, well...maybe I will be lucky enough to have a granddaughter to spoil one day! She is just gorgeous and delicious! Enjoy every wonderful moment!
Nice blog! If you have any children that require assistnce with their times tables then visit: http://www.multiplication.co.za
I enjoyed totschool with my first little one so much and I am excited that my second is just a few months younger than lady bug so we can do it along with you this time!! I was wondering what your using to organize the books in her room? the white thing on the floor? Right now all our books are in a box and its hard to see what all we have!
It is a photo frame ledge from Ikea ;-) It is supposed to be low on the wall, but it is on the floor for now!!!
