So I have taken initiative to teach my son as much as possible before he goes to school instead of planting him infront of the TV. Here are some sites with fun activities that you can use or print for your kiddie.

3 - 4 YEAR OLD MILESTONES
3- to 4-Year-Old Development: Language Milestones
If your child is not very talkative, that will likely change soon. At 3 to 4 years old, your child should be able to:
- Say his or her name and age
- Speak 250 to 500 words
- Answer simple questions
- Speak in sentences of five to six words, and speak in complete sentences by age 4
- Speak clearly
- Tell stories
3- to 4-Year-Old Development: Cognitive Milestones
Your child will start asking lots and lots of questions. "Why is the sky blue? Why do birds have feathers?" Questions, questions, and more questions! While it may be annoying at times, asking questions is a normal developmental milestone. In addition to asking "why?" all the time, your 3- to 4-year-old should be able to:
- Correctly name familiar colors
- Understand the idea of same and different
- Pretend and fantasize more creatively
- Follow three-part commands
- Remember parts of a story
- Understand time better (for example, morning, afternoon, night)
- Count, and understand the concept of counting
- Sort objects by shape and color
- Complete age-appropriate puzzles
- Recognize and identify common objects and pictures
3- to 4-Year-Old Development: Movement Milestones
Your busy preschooler continues to be on the move. At 3 to 4 years old, your child should be able to:
- Walk up and down stairs, alternating feet -- one foot per step
- Kick, throw, and catch a ball
- Climb well
- Run more confidently and ride a tricycle
- Hop and stand on one foot for up to five seconds
- Walk forward and backwards easily
- Bend over without falling
3- to 4-Year-Old Development: Hand and Finger Skills
Your child is becoming much more nimble. At this point in his or her development, your child should be able to:
- More easily handle small objects and turn a page in a book
- Use age-appropriate scissors
- Copy circles and squares
- Draw a person with two to four body parts
- Write some capital letters
- Build a tower with nine or more blocks
- Dress and undress without your help
- Screw and unscrew jar lids
- Turn rotating handles
3- to 4-Year-Old Development: Emotional and Social Milestones
Your 3- to 4-year-old is not only becoming more independent physically, but also emotionally. You may start to notice fewer tantrums when you leave your child with a sitter or at preschool.
TEACHING MY 3 YEAR OLD COLOURS
So apparently there is this new thing that children have to attend preschool before they can go to school. I am all for it but I am noticing that my 3 year old does not know his numbers or colours and is nowhere near ready to write his own name and he is turning 4 soon. I bought books at the toy factory to help him learn but I am wondering if it is even helping because he wants to play not sit and learn. So now I am googling LOL. Any tips? Leave a comment please!
WHAT 35 WEEKS FEEL LIKE
35 WEEKS, WOW
I am officially over this. So I would like to explain to everybody what 35 weeks feel like. I think my baby has dropped. I have purple vertical stretchmarks above my bikini line and when i move too fast I get muscle spasms in the crease between my hoohah and leg. heartburn is at its worst - more than 6 rennie's a day already. My mother had to shave my legs, did I mention that yet?
