Day 3 (July 23)

We have had yet another busy day.  He started this morning by writing a letter to his mom and it is already in the mailbox with the red flag up.  We made it to the lunch for park and Snoh was pleased with his pizza pocket, peaches that he chose to share with Lilli, and apple cherry juice.  Today there was even a lot of kids that he played with.  He was very proud of himself for always following the rules even when his friends were pushing, climbing where it wasn't safe and eating their food on the toys (my rule is that we have to eat all our lunch on the grass!)  We played in the backyard for a few minutes but he was more interested in Lilli's book about sign language.  Hours later he is still telling us all of the signs he learned. 

His letter to mom--he's working on making his letters the right size with dotted paper.  He did great doing it until we got to an "A" and an "E" because he knows how to do the big versions, but we needed little ones and he just wasn't having it!  Don't mind his dirty mouth, we wrote our letter right after breakfast :)

"Hi Mom I'm having fun.  I'm excited for clothes to wear to kingergarten. I eat lunch at the park.  I can not wait for you to come to brothers house. Love Snoh"
He also demanded that the to in the last sentence was wrong.  He wanted to write it like this: 2

Today was the first day Lilli didn't entirely sleep through lunch so she even got to eat some of her baby food.

While playing in the backyard, we found a worm.  It can barely be seen in the picture.  At first he was very afraid of it and even hid behind me so it couldn't get him but after a minute he was so excited to be touching it and loved watching it move in different directions when he touched the different ends.

We went shopping with Wende Lady to get Snoh a new snorkel that fits and ended up with some great clearance finds on "clothes for kindergarten".  At Wende Lady's house before another baseball game, Snoh found his favorite toy at her house: a slot machine.  Every time he has played, he always asks if he is going to get the bonus and today he finally did.  The video is from the bonus.  He thoroughly enjoyed it and is great at remembering which buttons to push in what order.  I took the video with my phone and can still hear the music when I watch it there, but it seems that the audio didn't go through.

We had pizza for dinner at Wende's (I don't know a 5 year old to complain about having pizza for lunch AND dinner) on the patio which was also a big hit.  We are meeting brother at the baseball game for more fun!
