The boys went to a birthday party for a preschool friend yesterday (not pictured). Mattie impressed the other moms by asking, "May I be excused?" when lunch was done! :)Today we braved the chilly playground (where James introduced himself to another child as, "Scooby." Heh!) We also ran into one of their preschool friends there, and he and James had a great time running around with the dads being monsters. (Mattie preferred to climb on the rocks instead.)
James is reading short/beginning reader books really well -- go, James! He's also interested in addition these days, mostly done by counting on fingers (so, he's really good at 4 +4 and 5+5). He likes to ask, "What does (number) plus (number) make?"
He is also in a phase where he likes tossing/throwing things (toys, books, etc. -- he walks around like a little Swedish Chef from the Muppets). He's not intending to be destructive, but it's not a good habit! I'm hoping it'll diminish when the weather improves and we can let him throw balls outside more. (Or, we'll have to get stricter with time-outs, etc.)Mattie continues to be extremely delightful and talkative. Today James and I were playing dominoes, and Mattie came up and said, "Do you have your instructions? Well, if you lose your instructions, you can call me and I'll bring you my instructions." So helpful! :) He also drew a card for James yesterday when we were making a card for the preschool friend.
