Preschool

Ryan and I started really doing preschool things at home this week. We've always done arts and crafts and reading and cooking, but nothing as focused as what we've been doing this week. Here are some photos from our adventures in preschool.

Here's Tim sorting paper clips... he tries to do preschool too.

My favorite part of the week involved this puzzle. The clown is holding an x-ray and after doing the puzzle Ryan asked if he could have an X-ray for his birthday. ;-)

Ryan sorting items in a muffin tin. He loved this and played it over and over again.


Here's Ryan working on a St. Patrick's Day sequence.

TV

Yesterday, as I was getting Ryan dressed to go outside, our TV came crashing down.

Turns out, Tim had been climbing on our entertainment center. Tim loves to climb. He climbs everything he can and gets into a lot of trouble for doing so.

I was right in the same room when it happened. My back was turned for mere seconds when the tv came crashing down. Tim started crying and I didn't know if I should cry or scream. The flat screen tv that we just purchased last year on clearance was destroyed but my little boy was perfectly fine.

We'll need a new TV. I hadn't planned on spending the money, but the remaining TV is old and doesn't work with the new cable. It can play dvds and vidoes though.

Ryan started preschool this week at home, so we'd been using less of the tv anyway, but with the rainy weather, we haven't been able to be outside much. Yesterday, they played for an hour outside. Today, it's cloudy with a chance of showers. At this point of the winter, their toys no longer hold their interest like they did at Christmas time.

So, we're getting ready to work on things for a picnic and to play in the basement today. I hope I survive.
