Summer Tot School Plans : August 2019
I have been loving the laid back summer break that we have had but I definitely want to try and get us back to at least some sort of rhythm. Our Summer Tot School plans are the way for me to keep us on task, at least a little and keep that TV off!

July is a big month for us! We will be going back to Alabama to visit the grandparents for two whole weeks so our July Tot school is definitely trimmed back a bit.

It’s more about exposure to concepts and everyday tasks, as well as the chance to practice skills that those busy toddler brains are already learning.

Bitty is 18 months old right now and I find that if I don’t have some kind of plan in place we end up watching too much TV. So what did I do?
