The boys finished their 6 weeks of karate on Saturday and they were both so excited to get a trophy. Their teacher mentioned that they might get one during the 1st class and Ryan and Luke have both asked about it several times since then. As soon as we got home, they both declared that they wanted to clean their trophies, so they each got a wet washcloth and went to town.
Art class is still going great for both boys. Greg and I were both very impressed with this last week's project - a clown. Their art teacher told us that the kids seemed to be getting a little bored with what she had been doing, so she brought a 1st grade project that day.
Ryan's clown - his best drawing yet, by far - I love the hair.
Luke's clown - I love his color choice.
Luke also made me this Valentine's card on Monday.
The inside of the card says "Dear Mama Please give me a baby bunny. Love Luke Ryan"
We all stayed home today and the boys entertained themselves by creating a new game with their scooters. Luke's Baby Tiger is on the wheel of Luke's scooter and Baby Tiger's Cousin is on Ryan's scooter - they raced around the house like this for much of the morning.
Videos of songs that they like to sing that they learned from school
We are looking forward to having Greg home this week - he has been gone 3 of the last 4 weeks. We plan on taking the boys somewhere fun tomorrow since we both have the day off - and the boys are anxious to get out of the house.
I discovered this week that Luke can read - I knew that he could recognize several words, but this week he showed us that he can read almost any 3 letter word that we put in front of him. Ryan is really close. He is good at sounding out the letters, but he doesn't quite put them together yet to form a word, instead he tries to guess what the word is based on the what he is sounding out (for example when he starts to read a word like cup, he sounds out each letter, but then guess cuddle). I am so impressed and proud of the both of them - they are now so excited about the idea of reading. As a fairly avid reader myself, I am thrilled.
