Highlights from today:
N- My little boy, T, had a ginormous break down during painting time, so N quietly gave him the very lovely picture she had colored. So sweet. It took her a little while to warm up to all the activities around the three out-going boys, but she slowly joined in and wore the biggest grin the whole time.
C- While painting our future cubbies, C was the most careful painter. All of his strokes were neat and long and almost exclusively green. Hmm... I wonder what his favorite color might be :) His practical solution to T's breakdown was to put his fingers in his ears.
J- This little boy was much too busy having fun and turning into a "zebra ghost" to pay attention to T's carrying-on. While he willingly jumped into every activity, he wasn't thrilled with the chunky peanut butter at snack time. After a little coaxing and debating, he tasted it and found that he liked it so much he needed another spoonful.
T- Despite the world momentarily crashing abruptly about his shoulders, T managed to have a fun day playing with the boys. Together the three played with the blocks and put on a puppet show for N and I. He enjoyed calling mom "teacher" even if it was hard to share her attention with everyone else.
What a fun little crew. I look forward to spending the next school year exploring the endless adventures we'll find as we take a look in a book.
