One More Week

Next Tuesday is the last day of Mr N's play group, he'll have a few weeks off before he starts his extended school year. Today when I picked him up they said he did amazing, listened well and followed directions. Words can't explain how proud of him I am, how impressed I am with how far he's come and the progress he's made.

After picking him up we stopped by the park to play, it's right down the street from the development center and he begs to go every week. Today it was warm and the kids from the preschool were there, so he got to have some more social interaction with his peers. He immediately joined in playing with the other boys.

When it came time for the preschool to leave Mr N continued to play until right as they left then he ran to get in line, turned to wave at me and said "see ya later". I kindly reminded him "no not see ya later, but we can go home if you are done". So we packed up then headed home.

Yesterday when I picked him up from preschool he begged to go to the park but I told him we'd go after sissy got out of school. He then proceeded to beg for the next 3.5 hours to go to the park, each time I reminded him that we'd go after sissy was home. So we walked to the school to pick her up then walked to the park. The kids played for a bit but there was a bunch of older kids there, which typically is fine and all the kids do well, but yesterday the older boys were being rowdy and wrestling with each other. E asked if we could head to the smaller park across the creek, so we did.

After playing for a bit at the smaller park it started to sprinkle so we decided to head back towards home, stopping off at the frozen yogurt place for a treat along the way. The kids love getting the frozen yogurt, Mr N likes his plain, while E likes hers with chocolate chips. They have a new orange sherbet flavored yogurt that tastes amazing, especially when mixed with the birthday cake flavor. YUM.

Mr N has invented a new game where he asks for a kiss then right when I go to kiss him he sticks out his tongue then laughs and laughs and laughs. He's gotten me a few times, but I can usually see it coming by the grin he struggles to hide and the ornery look in his eye.

Next Friday is E's last day of school, she has a trip to the library and to the Y. This week is my last week to volunteer in her class, I'm going to miss it. The library has a summer reading program, so E should enjoy that this summer along with many trips to the park and pool. It's hard to believe summer is right around the corner.
