The shape and color matcher came about because I am working to be more intentional with Sawyer while Brooks is at school! This will allow us to begin working on colors and shapes together! It is also great for his motor skills because he works to put them back in their spots and on the […]

Lu can swim! And why you should jump in too!

I think […]
