Popsicles after SSR

My husband, who is at home with the children while I'm at my job, has taught them Silent Sustained Reading (SSR). No more naps for Ben, because he was having a hard time falling asleep at night.

And after SSR, there are popsicles. The yellow ones are leftover pouring custard.

The orange popsicles are apricot nectar.

Check out that hair! Genevieve loves to style hair and this time, her hanky was involved for some Bohemian chic.

Margo said...: ah, Christian, napping hour is not LOST, just transformed. I am a much better mother when my children don't talk to me for an hour every afternoon :); July 20, 2011 at 2:49 PM
