Today was the boys First Day of 'School.' They've never been to any day care or Mother's Day Out program before so I wasn't sure how it was going to go. Noah is 3 1/2(Christmas Eve b-day) and Luke is 17 months. Their Grandparents volunteered to pay for Mother' Day Out after they saw what wonderful, joyful, active boys they are. Of course, I was thrilled at the thought of having a few hours to go to the grocery store BY MYSELF, read, take a shower, clean the house while two boys are not messing it up in another room, or whatever my heart desired.
I know it will be a great way to learn social skills...group obedience, group play, standing in a line, etc. for the boys. I've worked with Noah with the intellectual side of school but it is hard to teach him those socials skills without being in it! I think it will be a big step for him as next year he will go to school 5 days a week. Noah goes on Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 130pm and Luke only goes on Tuesday.
Just for the record so I remember what he knew before school: Noah can say and visual recognize all his upper case and lower case alphabet, can count to 100 (perfect until #39 but then says 30-10 instead of 40 as well as the other 10's), almost visual recognize all #'s til 100-just printed them out so he'll get that figured out soon; visual learner!), knows all shapes until you get to more difficult like hexagon, octagon, etc., knows colors until turquoise and some harder ones, can sing several songs, knows how to spell Noah, Luke, and gets the 'a' and 'o' mixed up when spelling Dad and Mom, Can tell me every title of every book he's read even after reading a library book once (photographic memory like his Daddy), etc. He has pretty much learned anything I've every pointed out to him...Ok, on with all the fun pictures!
Here are the boys before their first day getting one last ride in. Love them!
Noah called this is angry face...he did it the other day trying to look like a gorilla walking around and know he loves that face!
Getting some more play time in while I get bags ready...
Ready to go!
A little sunny but here are our big boys!
My little man looks just like his Daddy! Oh, I can't kiss those checks enough!
My handsome men! Love them!
Noah, I am so proud of you! You are such a big boy! You have always loved doing school with me and have always asked to do school over other things...coloring an 'A' to learn the letter or finding any game piece that had the #4 on it; you are such an easy student! I pray you are a blessing to your teachers and those in your classes. I know you will learn more skills in order to become the man is calling you to be. Love you so!
