Nap 2: 1:25-2:40

Special notes: Though the words are usually incorrect, Sammy seems to enjoy repeating all kinds of words when I say them. Also, Sammy fell in the tunnel today and bonked his face pretty good. He has a little mark on his lip from the fall.

A few things we did today: we finally got to go for a walk! :) Otherwise, the norm.

General notes: The walk today was PERFECT! We hit it just right when it was sunny and warm…the kids just seemed to soak it up. Sammy rode in the backpack and Flora was in the one-man stroller. It was sooooo nice to get out, and I think the kids agreed. It makes me wish for spring already! :)

Happy Birthday, Andrea!!



Name: Flora
Date: 1-20-12
Arrived: 7:10am
Breakfast: 7:15am, a few bites of egg and all of the English muffin
Snack 1: 9:45, cereal and dried fruit
Nap 1:----
Lunch: 12:05, all grapes, all cheese, all carrots, all applesauce, all blueberries!
Nap 2: 1:00-2?? (I checked at 2:11 and both were asleep, and I was downstairs where I evidently couldn’t hear them because they were both awake when I came back up around 2:35, but seemed like they were just waking up)
Snack 2: 2:45, random mix (nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, etc.)
BM: 2:55pm
Special notes: Flora is using “please” in her statements! For example, today at breakfast, she said “help, please” when she needed help, with no prompting.
The last couple of days, Flora has patted her behind and said “butt!” She threw a loop in it today when she patted the front and said “butt!” ha I wasn’t sure what you guys have decided you want to call this part of the body, so I just said “ummm…sort of!” So, just let me know what vocabulary you would like to use, and when she asks, I can at least respond appropriately. Thanks. :)
Also, Flora is out of wipes if you think to send some more next time. Thank you!

Special notes: A couple times today Sammy said “Flora” and it sounded somewhat like two syllables. He’s getting close I think! :)

A few things we did today: played with Milo and Brad! It was a fully 2-hours, and none of the kids got fussy. Crazy! Otherwise, besides playing with Ben for a few minutes, pretty much the norm today.

Pics of Sammy from break

Andrea, a few pics from over break that I never gave to you. Figured I would just post them on here.



This was funny. Spencer was trying to teach Sammy how to put on his sock, and Sammy was so interested!! ...


But the lesson went awry when the sock went on the hand rather than the foot. Check out Spencer's face...that is his "OK, I'm done trying now" look. :)

January 18, 2012 PICS

Play-Doh! :)




Flora likes to do this in the chair: rock forward and then rock back and put her feet straight in the air!


Sammy enjoying the box!

General notes: We used to visit with Milo on Wednesday, but I think they have a different schedule this semester. Looks like we will start meeting with them on Thursdays or Fridays. They both seemed to enjoy the play-doh much more this time than last time. Maybe it is time to try the finger paint again… :)

Special notes: Adriane, we did work on saying “please.” Also, Flora is funny with thunder. I’m sure she has done this for you…but today any time it would thunder, she would lay on the floor with her butt in the air and just listen until it was gone. It is also REALLY FUN to watch her dance! We even danced to some classical music today. Sometimes she would sway with her arms, but then suddenly she would break out in her usual "fast stomp" dance. So fun! :)

A few things we did today: we spent some time doing some musical stuff today, played in the box, read books, threw balls, etc. We decided to just hang around the house today. The kids were great!

General notes: Kids were great today!
