APPLE MONTH WAS A SUCCESS!

I wanted to remind all mommies that a lot of these activities will only keep a 15 month old's interest for a few minutes at a time. The most we have ever gotten out of a single activity is 30 minutes! We repeat the learning activities A LOT! The repetition is fun for him, because he starts recognizing patterns.
