This week we are learning about butterflies! Due to Elliot’s birthday celebrations, we got a late start but catching up today. We read a few really nice books and discussed our favorite types of butterflies, reviewed the life cycle, practiced linework/counting/matching/the letter B, completed a connect the dots exercise and a shape puzzle, and put together an awesome paper moth. Looking forward to some more butterfly fun tomorrow morning.

I’m working with Ashley on her branding and website but started out by creating a mood board and color palette. She wanted bright hues with a 50s flair and this was the result. I’m so happy she loves it. These colors are just so uplifting and fun and I cannot wait to move on to her logo. Ashley is a ceramic artist who is taking the leap and starting her own business. Such an exciting time! Looking forward to helping her on her journey.

Today we celebrated Elliot turning 5 and was such a nice day with family. I am so happy we were all together for his birthday and he had a blast 🥳

Elliot, you are such a light in our lives. Always smiling and cheerful, bringing sunshine and laughter wherever you go. I love your silly and quirky personality and how curious you are about the world around you. You’ve grown into such a talented little artist – between drawing/ painting, dancing/singing, and how much you love to act – it truly makes my heart happy. I’ve deeply enjoyed teaching and learning all about nature with you this past year and cannot wait for what’s to come. You are such a smart, thoughtful, and kind boy, it makes me so proud.

Watching you develop has been such a blessing and I am so honored to be your mother. I will always be here for you… to support your dreams, comfort you when you need it, and keep you safe. And I promise to do my best to give you every opportunity to thrive in the best way possible. Keep shining my love. I simply adore you 💕

Another morning learning all about ants! We read a great story about a few ants who certainly learned a lesson and more about the homes they build. Then we reviewed the life cycle, worked on letters and patterns, and completed an ant drawing. These little guys are so rad.
