Mommy and Me

Lately I've been feeling like a bad mom. My son watches movies and plays in his room all the time...he's a very independent boy. He doesn't like to sit and read books or play games, however, he does enjoy to color and paint. I feel like I've let him down a little by not teaching him things, but I swear he's learned so much by watching Nick Jr. I surely can't teach my kid Spanish! In hopes of getting K to love reading and learning, I've decided to go a little art project :) I'm going to venture out to our local library and pick up a couple books and do some crafting based on the story we read. I'm all about crafts and coming up with fun stuff to do, especially with my little man. I'm thinking that cars are going to be a big hit with K at first, might as well start off with something he loves, right? I've kinda got it all figured out...I just hope I'm not doing an overload. I'm looking at getting 5 books a week. My ideas so far are cars, zoo, sea life, farm life, and planets. I think they're all good subjects to focus on. I'll definitely post our progress, too!
I read on a blog that there's actually a a little program...it's called a Great stART :) Stories and Art! with A Mommy's Adventures. I'm hoping to learn a few things from her blog, too!
I'm off for the next couple of days so I'm hoping to get a jump start. First things, first...gotta get a library card. Then it's off to my most favorite place, Hobby Lobby of course. I'm so addicted to this store, any reason to get me there and I'm a happy girl!
I can't wait to start my Mommy and Me time with K, I'm so looking forward to this!

Hope you all have a Happy and Safe 4th of July.
