Watters Open House

Friday we left work and instead of picking Jack up from Watters we stayed for his Toddler Class Open House. The program started with Circle Time where Ms. Christina, the lead teacher, talked and led us through their morning Circle Time routine (singing songs and all). Then she passed out the assignment cards with two activities that Jack was supposed to show us how he does them during the day at class.

His first assignment was the metal insets (which up until now I thought on his sheets of the days activities that he had been working with metal insects...all makes more sense now). He knew exactly where to go to get the materials, sat down, and working away he went.
The first insert was a circle with the red crayon he had chosen, then he flipped over his paper, returned the circle inset, chose a trapezoid inset, and a brown crayon. More tracing, then coloring, and it was time for activity number 2.

This activity was the shapes sheet. He got his paper and a zip lock of colored shapes already cut out. He was able to name the shapes, colors, and glue them onto the proper place on the shape paper. So proud!

Then he knew to clean up by carrying his paper with both hands to the turn in station. My his teachers are going to love his "tendencies"...hopefully they will make up for the little oops like....hitting Alexis earlier this week and running to the playground and scrapping up his knees and face.

For dinner we headed to Watters Crossing and ate pizza at Grimaldi's Pizza. While waiting Jack got to play with some dough on a pizza tray. Nick and I split a salad and then we all split a pesto pizza with pepperoni....Jack loved it!

When we walked out to see "his ducks" by the water there was a band playing and people all around sitting in the grass enjoying the music and beautiful weather. So we sat awhile and even had some gelato for dessert...then it was time to stop at the Container Store to pick up an order, drop the Jetta off for a check up, and then visit with Angela/Melany & their families. We for sure missed out 10 o'clock bedtime on Fridays that we have had all year...but the fun times were worth it.


Here is a short video from Open House...we have more on our real video camera....but that doesn't hook up to this computer and get ready to turn your head because I am too lazy to rotate the movie. Enjoy!

Here is our little duck rider outside the restaurant...they are supposed to be doing some kid friendly movies on a big screen soon....can't wait for that.

Saturday was naps, dinner with Angela at Kelly's Eastside with a walk to the park, and Gymbo today. Nothing much else....resting up for another week closer to Summer to tackle. Hope everyone reading this is doing well!
