Christopher Can Draw Letters!

This evening, Christopher and Shad were sitting in the recliner looking at a book together. It wasn't just any regular book; it was a book about dinosaurs that had dry erase pages and a dry erase marker. It allows children to trace letters and draw their own. So, I warned Shad not to expect too much since we're just introducing that to the 3-year old class I help teach. Some of those children are having a really hard time. I really didn't have any expectations at all for Christopher to be able to trace. Well, as usual, he proved me wrong! Here are some pictures of his work:

He's so proud of himself!

Our 2nd Trip to Walden Farm

Yesterday was our 2nd trip to the pumpkin patch, Walden Farm. We met up with my Babycenter.com birthboard buddy, Becca, and her daughter, Juliana. We all had a LOT of fun, but since the kids didn't get naps, they were EXHAUSTED!!! We all went on the hayride and then the kids played in the hay maze, with the corn troughs, with the farm play table, in the kiddie play area (including the corn crib, a tire swing and Hay Mountain), fed the goats and finished up with the kiddie corn maze. Of course, we got LOTS of pictures! Here are a few:
