I found this great tot book at 1+1+1=1 . Moose LOVES Cars so I thought this was my best bet at helping him start his "schooling." He already does know a lot in this one (shapes, colors, and counting to 10) but it's always good to practice, right? Moose loves this accordion book with his name.

I honestly have downloaded almost every printable she has for tot books. I am taking pre-school very slowly this year. Speech therapy starts this week for Moose and I'd love to potty train him before he's 4. Those are honestly my main goals.

He loves Bob and Larry. We have a few VT videos and one VT book so he is well acquainted. I thought this was a good first attempt. I didn't have card stock yet or even the "right" folders (the ones I wanted), so I just used a normal folder (on sale due to back to school) and printer paper. one thing I like about the pockets is I can...
