Today we started a new thing, taking an hour or so each day to work with the boys on their ABCs, kinda like preschool. We wanted to get Sam into a preschool, BUT...since he is so resistive to finishing the potty training process we've decided to wait a little while and have our own "school" here at home. That, and Sam last week in Primary had an absolute melt down when it came to going to Sunbeams. When he finally did warm up, he wasn't all that well-behaved, either!
So, we bought school boxes and outfitted both Sam and Jake with new crayons and markers, glue and scissors, and those fat pencils we all remember as kids. They were sooo excited!! We had wiggle time, and started memorizing the Pledge of Allegience, talked about the letters S and J, sang songs, colored the Sun yellow and practiced drawing lines. Jake is going to be an artist, I think, he manuevered the pencil through the little drawing obstacle course very precisely for such a little squirt. Hopefully this will keep them a little more stimulated in the day (and not bored--bored children are dangerous!), not camped out in front of the TV so much, and keep them from getting left in the dust when they're ready to both start school.
Sam is very excited that Dad is going to be helping him at "Sammy's school" tomorrow. Hopefully he'll look forward to it everyday!
