Jacob's been working on learning how to write his name in a variety of different ways. I've gotten lazy around the holidays and it's pretty much the main focus of our 'homeschooling' right now because I don't have time to think about much more than that. But Jacob is doing pretty good with that.
We've also been going to Playschool, a parent-run co-op preschool. After a couple months of trying to work it into our schedule, I've settled on taking him there once a week. And we would have been going for the entire month of December but it got cancelled three Mondays in a row due to heavy snow falls and ice storms. We'll start January with a new commitment to it though.
We've also been baking and cooking a lot. Applesauce (below), muffins, soups, etc. Jacob loves to help and has been named the official garlic peeler of the house.
Since it's entered the truly cold weather, we've been taking advantage of the junior museum that is just down the road. Jacob has met some really interesting animals and made a lot of cool crafts at the five week class he took there. Below is the 'terrarium' from the last day of class. We currently have it growing on our kitchen windowsill.
