Reading with Henry

When Henry is ready to read, he is always very specific about where we're going to read. Today it had to be on the stairs. I wanted him to do "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear," so I could catch the actions. It took us awhile to get to that one.

This is a loooooong video and not great b/c the camera was on a chair.

Henry has his Shrek crocs!

Henry loooooooves all crocs and has a small collection. He even goes up to other children at the park and asks them if he can try on their crocs.

Colored Pasta

Last weekend, Leo and I dyed pasta for his class. This was a request from his teacher - they're going to make necklaces with the pasta for T'Giving. We soaked the pasta overnight in ziploc bags filled with rubbing alcohol and food coloring. When I drained them the next morning, they were mushy...but they dried and were firm again.

Fun at the Indoor Playplace

Last week, Todd had a Happy Hour/Going Away party to go to for work, so I decided to take the boys to an indoor climbing place for dinner. The food was yucky and we will go to Jason's Deli first next time, but they had a BLAST playing. They stamp all our hands with matching numbers when we go in and the doors are all locked, so I can relax a little and let them play. There was hardly anyone there on a Wednesday night - perfect! It is a large room filled with these structures to climb and different areas have different features like slides, balance beams, bouncy things, etc.

Leo's writing

Leo has really taken off with his writing since starting Kindergarten. I find little scraps of his writing all over the house.

I put up a Post-It for Todd with some notes he needed...and I came back to find this. If my writing was up there, he figured he would make one, too. Why Peanut Butter? Well, why not?
