Since everything seems to be repitition, and I'm sure no one wants to look at repeated pictures of Creston drawing or cutting paper, I will do a weekly wrap-up and sum up what we worked on for the week!
No pictures for this one either! Aaagghhh!!! (For those of you that know me, that is HIGHLY unusual for me!)
This week we spent digging potatoes, working some more on the Alphabet and letter recognition...working with Creston on his B's and V's which all come out sounding like B's ~ Violin sounds like Biolin and vroom sounds like broom...
I introduced the color PINK and worked more on getting him to recognize Purple...we have a Barney doll and a Pink clothes hanger, so I would hold each up and when asking about the Purple, I would stomp and say "PUR-PLE!" like Barney was stomping around (which we ALL know that Barney has NEVER stomped a day in his life, but it was a good visual!) For the pink, I would hold up the hanger and say "Pink, pink, you stink!" I realize that this may cause some kind of mess in the future, but if he'll remember Pink, then I'm fine with it!
He painted some more & worked on his 1000 piece John Deere Tractor puzzle. He's actually getting really good with the bigger piece puzzles, and when we work on his tractor puzzle together, he's becomming more aware of what he needs to be looking at/for when putting the pieces together! He's doing really well!! :o)
Thursday, we went to MOPS and he had a GREAT time! This was the second time this year (Mack HATED it, but Creston was all about needing to get to "His Class!" I was proud of him, the little booger! He was all excited about everything that they had done in "Class"! They played Basketball and made a picture with glue and tissue paper squares and watched a video! It was a whole weeks worth of stuff rolled into a 2 1/2 hour period! I was sooooo happy that he was happy! We might need to leave Mackie at home for the next MOPS meeting.... :o(
Today, we worked on counting a bit....he's got a big fire truck poster and we counted the trucks together. He's got 1-12 down pat, but then skips 13, goes straight to 14, 17, 18, 16, 19, 20!!!!! 15 is lost somewhere in never-never land....I need to find it! He's VERY adament that this is how the numbers go! We'll have to do some serious work on that, but he'll get it in time!
It's really been amazing to me how quickly Creston and even Mackie picks stuff up when we aren't even trying to get them to learn something! Earlier today, Mackie had a pretend Doctor's blood pressure cuff and he had placed it on his ankle...he pumped the little hand-pump a time or two, then looked at the dial, looked at me and proclaimed that "I got a heag-ake!" I said "What?" He looked at me as though he had just discovered a GREAT thing and said rather definately "I got a heag-ake!!!" ripped off the cuff, and stomped off into another room! Little feller! They are so cute when they are little!
I never pushed Creston with the potty training thing...I figured that he'd get it in time...his Nana, however would work with him when he was at her house....after many months of going back and forth between pull-ups and diapers, we finally bought "big boy underwear" and put him in those. Other than night-time accidents, he's been doing pretty good ever since! We've got him in a pull-up at night, but he promptly puts his underwear on in the mornings with his clothes, and the pull-up is most always dry! When the last few run out, we hopefully won't be buying any more of those! YAY!!
I've rambled enough now. It's time to end the day now. We've got a big weekend planned with a 21st b-day party for my niece tomorrow and then a 34th b-day party for my husband on Sunday! Party-party!! :o)
See you all next Friday!
