This was Theodore’s view of the snow. He actually went out in the snow a couple of weeks ago but this time it was right before nap so we just watched Foster and Katie out the window. He was OK with it at the time but most of the time he wants to be doing EVERYTHING they are doing. It makes our school time difficult because as we work at the table he wants to be up and into everything. Hopefully, by the time our school year kicks off next fall he will be able to stay a little more occupied with coloring and puzzles. Right now he still wants to throw the puzzle pieces, chew on crayons and markers and digest the play-doh. But Foster and Katie are still learning in spite of his interruptions. We played an alphabet game today and Katie can identify almost all her letters and actually knew the sounds some of them made. She is enjoying her first time taking a Monday Fun class too. She is in Pre-school Math and seems really excited about it. Foster is taking Interactive Story Time this semester and I think he’s enjoying his class also. I try to ask him what story they read or what they did in their class and he just says “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember”! I told Chris last night that I can’t imagine sending him off for 7 or 8 hours everyday and all him coming home and saying is “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” or “Johnny hit Billy on the playground…” I need more involvement in my children’s lives at this point than just the pitiful leftovers of the day. As it is right now, I get to be excited with them and for them all day for their accomplishments and I get to share in their disappointments.
