Hypothesis

I recently was combing the house for part of our activity center for our Pretty Princess. I couldn't find the silly star that lights up and makes noises. Anyways, The Champ says to us, "I have a hypothesis." I inquired what it was. He said he thought the star was playing hide and seek with us. I was impressed that he could correctly pronounce the word hypothesis and use it correctly in a sentence. I think he gets that from Dinosaur Train. Thanks, PBS!

We Eat Dinner in the Bathtub

One book I used to read with my first grade students was We Eat Dinner in the Bathtub. Now I like to read it with The Champ. We read the book several times this weekend. (The Champ had slowed down due to a fever.) His teacher mother made a connection to the story when I allowed him to eat his dinner in the bathtub. He loved it. Very fun.

First Food

On Friday, I tried giving our Pretty Princess rice cereal (mixed with breastmilk) for the first time. (It was a little hard to try to video tape and feed her at the same time...thus she isn't in the center.) We have now given her rice cereal three times. She seems to like it. We'll try another food soon.

Mission Accomplished

Blocks

Our pretty princess is trying to knock the blocks down with her feet. I also notice that she is getting just a little closer to turning over.

Getting Dressed

I love that The Champ opted not to wear the dress shirt under his sweater vest for picture day at school. We eventually got a nice outfit on.

Noises

The baby loves to play with her voice these days. If you turn up the volume on your computer, you can probably hear The Champ in the background. He created a party for the family last night. He had station work for us: reading, duck, sunglasses, and coloring. He gave us instructions to have only one person at a station at a time. Plus, we weren't to leave a station until he said that time was up. Boy is he related to a lot of educators...

Watching Baseball

The baby and I snuggle to watch baseball.

Blocks

The Champ is trying to stack blocks for his sister to knock down...its trickier than it looks.

Taking Care of Business...The Champ takes good care of his sister. In this video, he has just offered to clean his sister's rattle and is caring through with the plan.

Bells

You can see in this video how hard The Champ is concentrating. The kids each got a colored bell. The director would hold up color cards. When the color card shown matched the bell color you were holding, you were to ring your bell.

Give Me a Tender Heart

We enrolled The Champ in a choir at church. We thought he would love it since he loves all the people on stage. He was very reluctant to be there. We began working almost daily on learning our songs for "music class." He really came out of his shell once he felt confident that he knew the songs. You can see here how well The Champ sings.
