What 's A Kid To Do After School?

An after school snack and homework always come first. TV? Sometimes, but we have created theme days for each weekday after school. Mya Mondays for when her very young cousin visits for an hour or so and Alex helps babysit. Make It, Bake It, and Take It Tuesday when we help Alex prepare a food item to take home and share with her family. Grandpa Wednesday is a special outing with just the two of us finding a restaurant with a great dessert. Grandma takes over with Crafty Thursday as she and Alex work on a craft project. And since the weekend starts after school on Friday, Relaxing Friday tends to find cartoons or playing outside as the goal.


Scheduling regular events like this sets a pattern that everyone, including Alex, looks forward to and enjoys.

Friday

Cupcake Adventure


Grandma helped with Alex's first cooking project - cupcakes.  Alex did all of the measuring and adding of ingredients, and helped grandma with the filling of the cupcake cups and the icing.  She takes her baking very seriously as you can see from the pictures.  They turned out great and she is anxiously awaiting her next Make It/ Bake It and Take It Tuesday.
