Since being home I have had a cool opportunity to do some preschool things with both Noah and James. One thing we have started recently is having a letter or number of the day. Throughout the day we pick foods that start with that letter, go on letter scavenger hunts to find things that start with the letter, and read books and labels to find the letter. The kids have really gotten on board and a pretty excited to participate. Our most recent letter was "P". We had peanut butter toast for breakfast, popcorn for snack, pumpkin pancakes for lunch, and made pretzels. Both Noah and James loved to make the pretzels and learn about that process, but it was a little too long for James's interest, so I have a picture of Noah alone with the pretzels before they went into the oven. A few days ago we walked over to the library. For the first time Noah walked the whole way and Ben had his first ride in the stroller... he slept the whole way and James was very tolerant of sharing the stroller with Ben. Thanks to cousin Trey for lending Benjamin his warm fleece coverall... it was cold!
After soccer finished Noah started basketball. He definitely has some practicing to do, but given that he has never played before his is not doing badly. It is so fun to watch him try to dribble and shoot the ball. We have actually seen quite a bit of improvement from the first to the second week. He is getting pretty good at the bounce pass... so is James;)
