and i was a delinquent blogger again. where the heck did all of the time go??? here is the middle part of november:
max apparently played the drums in preschool. :-)
his class read 'the very busy spider' in soaring and did a couple of cute projects!
max's soccer pic - still waiting on els. they also did sweet pics with roger since he was the assistant coach on both teams - so cute!
ella FINALLY lost her tooth that was hanging in there for forever. AND the tooth fairy was on time!
last week, i spent quite a bit of time at both kids' schools.
the zoo came to max's preschool - he was super excited to learn about all of the animals.
petting a lizard
declining petting the snake
ella and her buddy, jake, at science lab
watching their new bearded dragon, norbert, eat a lunch of crickets and kale
picture day!!!
poor els, was skipping through the cafeteria, ran into someone and fell and cut her eye. she was a tough cookie though!!
a comment on the differences in how my kids take in new information (such as the history of thanksgiving) and then report it back:
Max:
A long time ago, before my teachers, Mrs. Dawson and Mrs. Monier, were born, people came here on a boat that they built. They came to our country because they wanted to make their own choices. There was nothing here when they got here - no houses or buildings. Then they had lunch together to be thankful.
Ella:
I wouldn’t want to live in olden times. They had bread that was so crunchy it could break all of your teeth. And girls had to do a lot. Like build fires. I wouldn’t build a fire. I would let my dad do it. Remember the girl who got burned by a fire? All she wanted for Christmas was Christmas cards so we sent her one. I hope that made her happy. All I want for Christmas is cheetah stuff. Because I love cheetahs. And unicorns. But mostly cheetahs. And cats.

Every child is unique and special - the same holds true for Ella and Max! It's interesting how each has different learning styles, what and how things are perceived, and the varying ways the kids interact and express themselves. Love all God's children! - Auntie Elaine
ReplyDeleteMax plays the drums?! Max is so adorable in his soccer pic! And Ella so pretty in her school pic outfit! Loved Max's face when the snake was in his presence. And poor El's eye! Hope she is feeling better. Loved how she and Cillian were bruised eye twins.
