Preschoolin' All Ya'll

We have been working on brain expansion with the kid.  As usual, I've been experimenting on the firstborn (technically the only one, but really who's counting).  Over the last couple of weeks we've done a unit on transportation and another on colors & shapes.  I'll be the first to tell you that the transportation theme should have been reserved for hubby's week off, because other than the visit to the Fire Museum and trolley ride, I was BORED.  I have no interest in vehicles; I am quite girly in this way.  On the other hand, the little turkey LOVED it.  Color and Shape Week went off without a hitch.  It was the easiest week we've done to this point as it was a direct learning setup as opposed to learning specifics along side a fun theme.  I was pleasantly surprised that (A) still enjoyed all the work/play and didn't seem to notice anything missing.  Now I know I can have an occasional lazily planned plan-b, in the instance I feel like being a lazy parent.  Hey, hey, hey, don't judge... we all get lazy from time to time.  So here they are in all their glory: The Lessons. You're welcome.
