Life Adventures for Miles

Today was an easy day. We went for a our family walk but other then that our adventure was homebound. screens, toys, snacking and games.  So this week the books are coveted by my child. One is much more of a soft busy book geared towards learning. The felt book is called "Starting the day" (Horizon brand books) and it has pieces for each page the help illustrated what they should do (brush teeth, wash hands, comb hair, tie shoes, ect). the text is simple phrases that enhance the pictures that go along with it. I would say it is laid out (especially with the pieces) as more like  prop settings where the reader can practice/play with each page.   Another book we have been reading a lot lately is "The Biggest Kiss" ( Joanna Walsh)  this book is about a little penguin exploring all the different kisses (like frog and dog kisses, hello and goodbye kisses), noting the differences and its opposites.

Today I was barely hanging on. for whatever reason I have been not sleeping as well My dreams have consisted of me usually in some sort of peril in the intent of saving or trying to prevent something happening. Also, I have been catching up on my reading escapes and my youtube so night and days are slightly longer than they should be. Plus, all the walking (even with as little as I do with the fam), I think has come to pay its complaints as my body is continuously achey...

I was slightly irritated to wake up between my nap and going back to bed, my child was getting away bending her boundaries. Thinking a
