Thursday, August 16, 2012

Nathaniel had a good day today. This morning he had a lot of fun out on bikeside! He sat in a car and drove around and then got on a bike with I and C while Stephanie pushed them around. :) Later I asked Nathaniel about his doctor’s appointment and he told me about an arm tattoo of someone on a bike and told me that the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!” He is so funny!

Nathaniel had a good day today. He spent a lot of time playing with his friends C, I, and G. They were playing out on bikeside this morning and discovered a big spider! I. named him Rick. Nathaniel said, “I want to hold Rick!” but we let Rick hang out undisturbed. Nathaniel stood for a while just watching the spider move.

Nathaniel had a good day today. He loved reading books, doing playdough, and playing with the flashlight in the fort! He told lots of stories today, some we could understand and some we couldn’t interpret yet. He is such a storyteller! He liked talking about Wonder Woman today, and Mommy and Daddy. :)

Nathaniel had a good day today. We spent time on the bikeside and in the sensory garden where he played with his friends C, I, and G a lot! He also really liked when we put water in the sensory table and washed the plastic people. :)

Nathaniel had a good day today. Today we painted a coconut tree from the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and he liked doing that. He also spent time playing with the animal blocks and listening to stories. He loves when we read Please, Puppy, Please.

Today was great! We went to the tennis courts and Nathaniel got to run around with his friends. He had fun and used so much energy! He also played with the toy kitchen a lot today.

Nathaniel had a good day today! He talked a lot about his weekend. His favorite topics were the wedding, his tattoo, and Mom and Dad. :) Our volunteer was telling everyone at lunch that she was going to a wedding and Nathaniel said, “I want to go to a wedding!” :) We also had a lot of fun in the morning playing with felt. We have different facial features on felt (eyes, noses, and mouths) and we made different face shapes. We talked about whether they were happy or sad. Nathaniel loved copying the crazy faces we came up with! He was pretty good too! :)

Nathaniel had a good day today. He had a lot of fun doing pretend play in the kitchen. :) He also really liked painting during art time. We put the paint directly on the table which Nathaniel loved!

Nathaniel had a good day today. He loved pretending to be a firefighter this morning! We got out our “hoses” and put out fires all over the classroom!

Nathaniel had a good day today. This morning he wore a red bucket on his head as a hat for a while. :) We colored some pictures, then headed to bikeside. On the way back we went on a lion hunt, which Nathaniel really seemed to enjoy!

Nathaniel had a good day today. He loved wearing the baseball helmets around the class today. :) He also put a couple of bins on his head again, but the baseball helmets were more appealing. :) We went down to the tennis courts this morning and had a blast! Another class let us borrow some of their pull toys and Nathaniel spent most of the time outside pulling around a dinosaur he found. :)
