Camping

One of C's favorite games to play is "Camping".  It's a great dramatic play game that continues day in and day out.  On Saturday evening we decided it was warm enough to make a real camp fire out in our little pit in the backyard and cook dinner in it.

 EMan was confined to his high chair since he was getting too close for comfort to the fire.

 C really wanted to put up the tent, which started a good conversation about the changing season and how it gets cold at night.  We compromised and put up the kid tent in his bedroom.  He then was given the option to sleep in the tent or in his bed.  He chose the tent :)

 Before going to bed though we try and have a mom/daddy read story and a C read story.  Right now he reads us the books from the Amazing Action Alphabet.  He's learned 6 letters and is therefore reading the first 6 books in their series.  I'd highly recommend checking out the company.  Go to their web page by clicking here: Amazing Action Alphabet.

C had a high fever on Sunday, so we canceled regular preschool for Monday (again).  I hate canceling.  There are so many fun activities that I love doing with our whole preschool class.  I've found that teaching is the job for me simply because even if there is a particularly hard day, I am still excited to wake up the next morning and greet kids again.  How many people can say that about their job?
