TLC Homeschooling: August 2009

Climbing and Hiding

Beautiful face...

All dressed up for church but he would NOT stand up....he kept sitting so this is the best picture I could get...holding his little new testament

He's learned a new technique or should I say bad habit.

And also a new hiding place.

He LOVES his daddy....still don't say mama...just ball and dada..

Suckers...sulking & suits

We were given this suit and it fit Jacob perfectly. He wore it to church Sunday and everyone complimented him. He's growing up so fast.

The other day Jacob wanted to play outside and I didn't want to move the van so he went out and sat in the driver seat and was pouting....had to capture the moment.

They all got blowpops....couldn't even finish them...too big.

Silly summer days

The boys were doing headstands

Nothing like a blowpop...too bad none of them could finish them. My boys aren't very fond of candy. I don't give it to them much so they don't want a lot of it.

They love to wear this raincoat...I think he looks like a duck QUACK QUACK!

Jaron has been in Pre-K 3 weeks and he lost 1lb. in the first week there. I am getting very discouraged. He ate a whole pamento cheese sandwich one day and another day he did not eat any of his pizza. Today they had chicken nuggets and he didn't eat anything. I am continuing to give him 3 pediasures daily but I can't get him to gain any weight.

I am so torn on what to do for him. Keep him in pre-k or take him out so I can feed him at home more often and make sure he gets enough to gain some weight. My little boy is so skinny and it worries me...

Going to First Grade

Football with skateboarding helmets

silly boy....tucked in his shirt and then went and got this hat and said "check this out mommy"

"Look I have one big tooth" it's the magnet for the dentist office....

waiting on the bus the first day....

When I woke him up for school and said it's time to get read for school he said "YES!!!" and when he was getting ready for school the second day he said "Mommy I can't believe I'm in the first grade"... he's almost mastered tying his shoes too....

learning to climb

chillin with daddy

about to fall off the couch.....

climbing in the fridge to get a closer look...

sat on Jaron's head...

loving the slide...he climbed up in several times and stood up....if I tried to help him he cried....

Non stop sliding...

napping during the yardsale

finally starting to feed himself after one week at pre-k and tasting all sorts of new things: chicken, peaches, pears, pineapple, corn dog, peas, noodles...he hasn't cleared his plate but it's a HUGE step for him to be tasting each thing. stuff he's never had before.....when we try at home he just cries so I think seeing a whole table full of kids his age eating the same thing he feels kinda like it's "normal".
