Dental Hygienist Appointment

We took the bus all the way around the south part of the route, and Karl looked at the routes for the 6 (which we were on), and the 8. Mommy explained that the routes were like maps.Today, we went to the dental hygienist at M25. Karl had hands-on experience with one of the teeth models and its accompanying toothbrush. He also was able to play with a fruit basket and its contents. Each time Suzy would offer him a toy, he'd refuse and say he already had that item at home, including the egg timer she showed him. He said 'me already have sand.' Suzy says he's adorable, and Mommy agrees.

Then we went to Burger King, took photos at the fountains at Freimann Square, ran into Dave, got back on the 6, and went home.

Summer Preschool Starts Tomorrow!!!

I will be keeping a record of our summer preschool activities here instead of in a new blog. We are expecting to do swimming, zoo trips, backyard science, counting objects wee see, such as cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bees, ants, spiders, and also with money at various stores and at yard sale transactions, plus you can't forget the ice cream man, when we can catch him, that is. There will be social studies at the park, science studies on plants and seeds, animals we see, day time and night time, sun and moon movements, more activities with mirrors, magnifying glasses, binoculars, the telescope, and the NASA website. He will be keeping a notebook of what he learns. It looks like an exciting summer! We already have one trip, to Rose-Hulman to see big brother Corey graduate, scheduled for this coming Friday, with a camping adventure worked in. Josh is also going with us. My friend Kathy is driving us down, and she will be visiting nearby friends, in Shelburn, while we are down there. Packing is going to be quite fun for this. We are taking the sheepskins with us. I can finally get that firewood off the porch, which reminds me to get marshmallows.

MrBaby is Learning to Share!

He wanted to go to Leo's today and see if Nigel and Marquis could play. They weren't there, but while we were talking to Leo, Charlene arrived. MrBaby asked her if they were with her, and she said 'no, honey, tomorrow'. He told her that 'borrow means return it', meaning if he borrows toys, he knows he has to return them. He wanted to show Nigel his new slinky, just like Nigel's, and share it with him, too. We'll see if he really does it, and if so, sporadically, or consistently. I think he'll make a good effort, but that the newness of sharing will fade quickly. His heart's in the right place, though.
