School @ Home

February 3rd, 2012

I know he doesn’t start for awhile, and trust me I’m not ready for him to go. Even though it makes me a little sad, I’m doing what I can to get Dylan ready to go to kindergarten.

Dylan goes to preschool three times a week, and on the days he isn’t there, we work on school @ home. We practice writing his name, letters, and numbers too. Dylan is really interested in math, so I need to work that in too. He also colors lots of pictures, and we read books too. It is really fun.

We also tour his soon-to-be school whenever we get the chance. Right now it is the attendance center that  Thade attends, and we go about once a month when we need to load Thade’s lunch account. I take Dylan for a little walk around the school, and we look for all the different rooms. We find the lunch room, the gym, the library, and then the kindergarten hall.

It is fun for him too, he has met a lot of the teachers, and on our last visit he met the principal too. He made her laugh too. We were introducing ourselves, and Dylan said he would be attending school soon. The principal introduced herself, and asked Dylan if he had any questions about school. He quickly retorted “I’m very concerned about homework”. She and another teacher giggled a bit, and the principal reassured Dylan that he didn’t have anything to worry about, his teacher would be there to help. He then said “but, what about math…” I think he is just about ready to go.

Kindergarten will be here before I’m ready for it…

The 3 of Them

The three of them are a pretty tight-knit little group.

Agnes looks to her big brothers,

and they teach her so much.

They are so much the same, and then completely different at the same time.

They keep life extra  interesting too.

I just love my 3.

Leaf Party

November 10th, 2011

The weather warmed up a bit yesterday, and the leaves in the front yard were just too much for the kids to resist.

They ran around,

tossing crunchy leaves in the air.

Warm Autumn afternoons are the best!

Feverish

Last night Agnes ran a fever, but the croup cough hasn’t hit yet. Dylan hasn’t had a fever, but the croup cough is still with him. Thade is off to school today, I think he is trying to avoid the sickies here at home.
