Waiting for Baby # 2, Preparing Baby # 1 for a Montessori Education at Home

I'm 37 weeks pregnant, and can't fit ... any of my clothes... even the maternity clothes... I have a nursery set up for Baby Bear #2, and, now it is just a matter of waiting to see when he is going to decide to show up. Now I get to go back to looking forward to starting Baby Bear #1 with the montessori albums that I purchased a year ago! I am either making or purchasing montessori materials appropriate for a toddler... My goal is for Baby Bear to have quite a few wooden age appropriate toys, and to work on a few of the Practical Life excercises over the summer (yes, with Baby Bear # 2 in my new Beco Butterfly Carrier, coming along for the ride!). Baby Bear # 1 has been doing some of the infant and toddler excercises that we found through the books we have been reading, and most of all we have been looking at http://www.letteroftheweek.com/ Baby Bear # 1 likes the books they recommend, and the activities are easy to follow. My next post will be about some of the Practical Life Materials Papa Bear and I are preparing for Baby Bear #2
