Lately

One of the best things about challenging myself to post daily is I start looking for things to write about.  So, sometimes I end up with posts about nothing, but hopefully I also end up with a few things I'm glad I recorded.

Like this... I've been writing down things you've said in the last little while.

-I want to be the real Spider-Man when I grow up.

-Heavenly Father is Jesus' friend

-You're a good organer (someone who plays the organ) and teacher (I was going to teach organ lessons)

-(I had to go down our windowsill to get some toys that were thrown down there) Be careful mom, there's a family of spiders down there.  Spiders have families too!

-I have great ninja skills.

You haven't been feeling too good the last few days and fell asleep this afternoon watching the iPad

Your teachers also mentioned that you love to help in class and you're a great counter and are catching on to addition really quickly.  -You've sort of been a bit obsessive about counting, that's all we do now.  That and figure out what 1+1+10+5+3 is, or 10+10+5+1+0 is, it usually only ends when you add the word eyeball or poop in there and then you start laughing.

You've been a great help lately and I'm trying to cash in on that desire to help in class, today you helped me put away all of the dishes from the dishwasher.

Pajama Day

A few weeks ago the kids had a primary activity (on a Saturday) where they got to wear their pajama's to the church and they had a pancake breakfast.  You keep talking about it.

So, when I got this months preschool calendar and told you that you got to wear pajama's to school you were so excited you've probably asked me when the day was at least once a day for the past 3 weeks.  

Today was the day.  You was so excited!

Grandma Hardcastle took you to the store when you spent the night last week and let you pick out a new pair of pj's for the occasion.  

The Zoo

We managed the first zoo trip of the season with my mom last week.  It was just a little chilly, but a light jacket and staying in the sun made the day nearly perfect.

It was the first time we've been there since the new polar bear exhibit opened that she wasn't in the water.

Another month gone??

Okay... I'm seeing a pattern here and I'm not very happy with one post a month!  It's probably a good thing that I'm going to post every day in March.

Thank goodness for pictures!

Fun with Dad
