wednesday

What a crazy morning! We were a little off schedule today due to Landon's ailment! When he woke up barking like a seal I knew he had to go back into the docs. So I packed up all 5 kids and met kyle in at springdale pediatric. The kids LOVED the car ride (I had an elmo video playing) and gave them all snacks and water when we got to the office (I didn't take them in I just gave Landon to Kyle and left with the rest of the bunch) Landon has croup (some type of virus that affects the voice/throat) so if any of your little ones start barking take them to the doc for some steriods (that's what Landon got) I have no idea how contagious it is??

So we haven't gone outside yet today :-( really hoping the rain stays away until tonight so we can go out after nap time.

Breakfast: choc chip pancakes (Thomas had 2!!!) and grapes all ate well (not Landon)

Lunch: Whole grain mac n cheese, yogurt, watermellon (thanks crystalann :-) Thomas and Paige didn't eat very well (but drank their milk) Thomas introduced me to his new game of throw my food all over the floor. I'm guessing they just ate a lot for breakfast and with snack (which they never have in the am) they just weren't hungry yet.

School: When we got home from the doc's we went downstairs.

We began with looking at the weather (Hayden said "It's cloudy Ashy!" Then did the date, and day of week.

We talked about the letter A and the sounds it makes and some words that start with A (like alligator) I had the little ones tap on the table when we said A goes "A" they liked that

We then pretended to be alligators and learned the sign language for alligator and I showed them how tongs look like an alligators mouth and said "open" and "shut" and we practiced that for a while.

We then talked about jaquires, what they look like, where they live (in the rainforest) We started a craft (didn't finish it today) but all the kids did finger paint

Finished with our songs and heard a new song, The Jaquire song

Hayden pooped and peed on potty after lunch (I got a little more firm with him today, he didn't like it but he went) Paige learned how to take off her diaper, I'm having a tough time keeping it on her today!!! (haha)
Thomas is in good spirits today, didn't even fall asleep in car, because Bryce kept making him laugh!!!

have a good day!
