Show and Tell

August 19th, 2008

At Preschool sign-up Thade’s teacher told us all about the daily activities at School. One that we can get started on now is Show and Tell. They will have Show and Tell everyday at school. They can bring small items such as leaves, pictures, or an interesting insect (in a bag of course). I thought we had better find a place to store all of his new show and tell finds.

I found a Gladware container that no longer had a lid, and I labeled it in bright colors for Thade. Thade has been busy filling the container with Rocks, Marbles, and Bark from our neighborhood walks. Our Show and Tell Box is staying in the kitchen at the moment, so Dylan can’t get into the treasures.

I hope that we can check out a few of the local sites before school and pick up little souvenirs for Thade to take along. We also need to make one more trip to the Bird Display at the park, and look for feathers. I’m sure that Thade will find many cool show and tell finds before school starts.

Early Bird vs. Night Owl

August 18th, 2008

Hi, my name’s Nico and I have a problem… I can’t seem to wake up early. Try as I might, I am struggling to switch my internal clock over to “morning person”, and away from “night owl”. Any tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thade has Preschool coming up soon, and it is first thing in the morning. I really need to get my act together and have both boys up, dressed, breakfast, and ready to go, oh yeah and me ready too. I just can’t seem to get up and going though. I’m a night owl by design, and this early bird notion is giving me trouble.

This morning I overslept big time, and I’ve been playing catch up ever since. Maybe its just Monday, even so I’ve got to get up and get going earlier.

Thade can S-P-E-L-L

One of my before Preschool goals for Thade was for him to learn how to write his first and last name. He has been practicing all week on his Doodle Pro, and he can write both!
