Changes in the living room

I needed the playpen very much in the kitchen, so I decided to move it out there from the living room. Barni can use his walker in the living room from now on. But to make it possible I had to put away lots of things from behind the playpen, because they would be in reach for him from now on. I found several 'Wanted' things...

He was happy to find this toy in the playpen and enjoyed if for about 10 minutes. I hope this change will give me more time in the kitchen...
I found a very old craft sheet of Karina's among those stuff. She was delighted to find her baby Moses:-) She went to bed with him.. It is such a joy to see her face lit up just from seeing a simple sheet of paper:-) It's a good thing I have not put it in the bin...

Candle Bible for Toddlers Memory Game

Today with Barni we played with these lovely flashcards. These were the very first flashcards I used with Barni to teach him English, when he was about 2 months old. He loved them back then

and he still loves them!! I left my camera at church yesterday (there was a baptism:-) ), so I was not able to take photoes today.
I wish I could find some more cards like these. They are big, they are strong, they look cute. And they are from the Bible!!! Any idea?

The Praise Baby Collection

As I was following 1plus1plus1equals1 today, I remembered it is very much worth to share this with you.
When Karina was a few months old, we have received a set of 3 dvds. I have put one of them on for her when she woke up in the mornings, it gave me an extra 30 minutes to get myself out of bed:-) She is 5 now, but she still loves watching them. Barni is not into them yet, but he likes watching them for a while. There are cute videos of babies, animals and animations, while there is lovely worship music on. You can even choose if you want the singing of adults or children, or simply instrumental music.
A fourth disc was a gift from Uncle Russ:-)
You can see samples -and also buy them- here.

Deers

I have a new student, and Barni is present at our classes. Kincső, my pupil, has learnt about deers today, so I showed the kids a powerpoint I had made for Karina years ago. It contains photoes of us:-)

So far I just downloaded the printables, and will start working on them next week.

Today we went to meet our new German teacher, who is a nice 17-year-old girl learning German at highschool. She is really nice, and we can't wait to have our first lesson tomorrow.

Barni's Russian lesson

After quite a few weeks' break Barni had his Russian lesson again. My sister Pálma has been teaching him for more than 6 months now. Mostly they use flashcards, and she also sings little songs to him.
Judit, thanks for the Russian flashcards!!!
