Sometimes you make a plan, but it gets thwarted by a toddler and a preschooler. Or is that just me?

Our #wordwednesday activity got pushed to today, so we are officially a day behind in our planned activities. Which brings me to a new decision for how I'll keep this blog up to date. While I love my categories for daily activities, flexibility is key when working with kids, or any age for that matter!  Although this blog isn't even a week old, here is the new format:

1.   I will keep my daily monikers, and share about the slated activity, however, I will not force my kids to do what I want, when I want for the sake of a blog schedule :)
2. Hopefully my children will be as excited about the activity as I am, so I will share our experiences on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtag for the daily activity, e.g. #thinkaboutitthursday
3. In the event that my children divert from the plan, I will hope that one of my followers has more accommodating kids and point you to their success!

Today was supposed to be Think About it Thursday. On Thursdays we will tackle some discussion questions and/or do some problem solving. When we read through Happy Birthday, Madame Chapeau again, I'll ask my tots these questions:

• Do you think there is a way the Madame Chapeau could have gotten her hat back from the crow? How would you get it back?
• Who do you think gave her that hat? Let's see if there are any clues in the illustrations.
• If you saw Madame Chapeau had lost her hat, what would you do to make her feel better?

Please share your child's answers in the comments!
