Our Week

What's better than plating dress up and wrestling while putting away laundry?

Dressing up like Daddy!

Connor begged to play with his new hot potato game and he loved it!

I had to take a picture of Caylee's last night in her mitten jammies before we retired them.  The last little bit of baby :(

Connor started Kindergarten Prep lessons this week at school and they're going to be working on writing and journaling each day.  He brought home the most adorable picture of his family (Connor, Daddy, Mama, tiny Caylee).

 Grandparent's Day at school with Grammy!

Our Week

A little sidewalk chalk fun and I taught Connor how to write something special...

When your kid doesn't want to nap, this is what he does with his chairs...

"Look Mama, I'm making a snow angel!"

Playing the Ninja Turtles Nintendo game I got from the flea market...

The baby swing has only been out for 15 months and he decided to turn it on and try it out this week

On Thursday, daycare had a summer carnival in the evening. Caylee got right in with the big kids and splashed in the water to look for ducks!

Photo booth fun!

In honor of his birthday, Connor got a blue glitter 4 on his face at the face painting booth!

Success! Name Writing

Proud mama!

It look many, many months of begging to get this to happen.  We've been trying different games, apps, coloring books, toys, etc and nothing was really working to get him interesting in writing.  In the past month or so, he started to mention "C for Connor" and that was the beginning.  He wouldn't move past the C.  We knew that he was hiding how much he really knew and this proved it.

I showed him how his name was on his wall and he copied the letters onto his white board.

After that, we worked on how to write the letter N.

It was so cute because the next day, he brought home a bunch of his artwork from daycare and I found a paper that was covered in N markings.  He wouldn't admit it, but I know he was practicing his Ns after we taught him the day before :)
