Oliver had a wonderful day at preschool. In the evening we wound down and talked about time. We have been talking a lot about the clock in his room and the calendar hanging on his wall. He doesn’t know how to tell time yet, but we read a book about it tonight. He knows that Mommy wants him to go to sleep at 8:00, or at least start our story by then. We also looked at his calendar and circled the days he goes to school. When Mommy asked him what tomorrow was, he shouted, “School day!” Mommy asked him what else it was and he said, “Donut Wednesday!” He is catching on!
We are still working on the bath routine. (In time, Mommy hopes things will fall into place. Hopefully.) Mommy has to wrestle him to get his clothes off, trick him into getting his hair washed, and encourage him to play more in the water. Mommy wants him to enjoy baths and look forward to them. We will keep working on it.
This evening he fell asleep listening to two more chapters of our Little House book. Mommy has also started reading a new parenting book that is on her and Amy’s reading list. Mommy liked this quote that was at the beginning of a chapter on “The Power of Story”-
“Each time we read a book, we go on a journey. And as with all journeys, books change us and bring us back to our deeper selves.” –Patricia MacLachlan, author of Sarah, Plain and Tall
The Little House series is definitely taking us on a wonderful journey.
Playing with our magnets in the morning.
He is having a lot of fun with the numbers.
Winding down in the evening.
We wrote on his calendar the days he goes to school
this week, and of course donuts!
Bedtime 8:00.
