Let the Pre-Preschool Begin

I am intending to start a slightly more rigorous preschool curriculum with Peter in another month or so, and currently we are preparing for that.  We have shifted our schedule so he and I have a block of time for activities while Elliot takes his morning nap.  Now we are getting used to the new schedule and the idea that he has to finish his chores (somewhat independently) before he and I can sit down together and get to the fun stuff.

Today he used his paint rollers to make the new neighbors a Welcome to the Neighborhood card.  Unfortunately, when we stopped to give it to them, we found out that the small children we saw playing at the house last weekend were, in fact, impostures and not actually the new neighbors.  The new neighbors have a seven year old girl, but no children closer in age to ours.

Then Peter counted life savers and arranged them to make flower lollipops.

We discussed melting as we watched them in the oven.

 

That night after dinner...

Do I get one, Mom?

 I do?!?!  Really!?!

 Yum!!
