Early Education

And the start of the school year is upon us. Not that anyone in this house is going to school or anything, but this time of year is always interesting to me. I guess my 17 years of school followed by 6 years of teaching really makes September a big month in your life. And this September it seems crazy to think that next September I will have a preschooler! 

But this is the sort of early education taking place at our house these days...
Joash loves to show Mataya the finer points of using the telehandler to move round bales. In just this last week, he has decided that he likes to play by her. So all around her gym and exersaucer are tractors and round bales. It will be a sad and difficult day when Mataya become mobile and interested enough to grab onto all of these items  and start putting them in her mouth. But for now, I love watching this older brother introduce his sister the world.

He's Rolling!

Gideon has master rolling this week and sometimes, he is not too happy about it... He can go from his back to his belly all on his own. And if you lay him on his belly propped up on his elbows, he will roll over to his back.
He started rolling in his crib at nap time, so that means no more swaddling. Which also means we have to relearn sleeping through the night. He has done two nights swaddle free, which have gone okay. He stirs a few more times during the night, but I only got up once to actually feed him so he will settle back to sleep. So, not too bad and hopefully we get back on track quickly.

A Farm Boy Already

I don't fully understand how this happens, but Gideon already loves the tractor. If he is in the kitchen or the living room and he hears the sound of the tractor, he crawls to the closest window and has a look outside. When he sees it, he often starts drumming on the window sill, so excited. He repeats a little "T" sound, like he is trying to say tractor. He hasn't actually gone for a ride in the tractor, yet. But I think he will be pretty excited to that some day soon.

Storybook Character Day 2016

Today was Storybook Character Day at Joash's school. I tried to make it easy on myself and encouraged Joash to use one of the costumes we have on hand. So, he picked the chef costume and took the book Sam the Chef.  Notice anything about his face? I didn't have time to take a picture before school and we got a call right around lunch time that Joash had a pretty bad fall on the asphalt at school during recess. He was pretty shook up about, so I went to pick him up early today. He seems pretty much his normal self now, so we are not too worried. And of course, school pictures are on the 31st, so we will have to see how well he has healed by then.
