The Gummy Bear Song

James started to sing this song but soon ran into a problem. I don't quite know what happened but this is funny. He gets frustrated- reminding me of a few middle school kids I know!

Halloween is coming!

College

I've put College in James' brain. I told him that after kindergarten and then big kid school he'll go to college to learn a job. He told me that he would still like to be a Cookie Chef, so he'll go to Cookie Chef College. I did tell him that he could go to college to be a doctor, a lawyer, a dentist, a writer, an artist, etc. But it's still all about the cookies!

Some cute responses in the days after:
"Mom, are my friends going to college too?" I HOPE SO!

"Mom, I'm going to miss you when I go to college." OMG Don't remind me that one day he'll leave us :(

Classroom Stuff

I love looking around James' classroom for the student art but also to check out which toys they have in the room. James was very excited last week when they added "big kid" Legos! Not just the age appropriate Duplos (that he kinda skipped over) but the little bitty piece Legos.

Check out his Frankenstein-



Other kids' art for comparison-
I like how James' Frankie has low eyebrows, it makes him look fierce!



He was very proud of his pumpkin. The leaves must have been confused with eyes. And he was only one of three kids who thought to turn his pumpkin lengthwise. You can also see the cutting lines. The kids must have been told to cut out their shapes. I think James is doing so much better with scissors.



On the day I took these pictures James was a Lights helper. He told me that he got to turn out the lights for naptime. Nice work!

Please???

My child BEGS to take his medicine. He just can't wait.

I tasted it. Gross.

Computer Geek

James is taking a computer class at daycare now. He is now taking THREE classes- computer, Spanish, and soon Karate!

This morning he made a "work desk" and used a wood block for a mouse. The R2D2 computer has reappeared and he's been pounding on the keys. I caught a cute moment on video (posting later) where he recited the ABC's and punched out each letter on the keyboard.

He's learned about the different kinds of computer mouse(s)- tracking ball or light. I think that's what it is. I need to ask James... He's also learned how to point and click. He's a genius.

Sunday is for Football

We were in the middle of reading the Sunday newspaper. I think I was mid-sip of my coffee when this sweet little voice said, "Mom, will you play football with me?" I think there was even batting of the eyelashes. How could you refuse?

We ALL went outside. We are a great family :)

I mostly took pictures but I took a tackle or two too!

"Mom, you're on my team. Get ready."

James and I dove for the ball.

We saw this in the Charlie Brown book.

"Don't be afraid of the ball, James."

We didn't last terribly long outside. The gnats were pretty nasty. But what fun!

Weatherman

I'm going to get better about blogging. Some time soon.

James was very excited to tell me today that he was a Classroom Helper. He helped with the weather today!

He was willing to take a picture in the classroom but he didn't want to smile.

James took this picture-

I asked James how he helped with the weather. He said he looked out the window and told Missy (a teacher) that it was sunny and windy. That's pretty darn accurate!

Happy Anniverary to Us!

911

James has been telling us about fire safety. I realized why. There was a fire truck "fieldtrip". A firewoman (!) paid a visit to the school to demonstrate putting out fires but she must have also told the class about dialing 911 when there is a fire. I told James I would teach him how to use the phone tonight. I just hope he doesn't dial 911 too often...

These pictures were on the parent share site. So cute!

Look at James in line, patiently waiting his turn. Glee!



James turn to hold the hose-

WJDN ?

Studying his SW Lego book. Apparently Grandma Rose promised him the AT-AT for his birthday. (I guess she doesn't realize its like $300!)
