these kids of mine, yo. so many changes. all day err day.
currently:
bea
-still not super interested in learning letters and spelling and reading in general, but still slays at logical and mathematic skills. simple math equations and difficult puzzles are her strong suit; she is still so good at puzzles. 7 year old level at jigsaw puzzles. mind-blowing. which leads me to..
-bea finished her first year of preschool! i have been mostly disappointed with her preschool this year, for a number of reasons, primarily that her teacher almost never communicated with me. and when i did go to a parent teacher conference, it seemed like she didn't even know who beatrice was, and talked very little about her. it was a let down. but she did learn some good social skills and how to play in a more structured environment. anyway. the reason this has to do with the above thing is that she made it into the private montessori school for 2017-2018 school year! i am so excited to see where that approach takes her.
-she got her first spotlight award at dance last month which was a sweet moment. she loves to dance, i hope she still wants to stick with it for a while. her recital was a lot of fun and she did a great job.
-not much has changed since my last post in the sass department. still so sassy. some days i just cannot even but then she asks to snuggle and watch a show and i'm all like girl it's ok.
-she gesticulates whenever she talks and starts a lot of phrases with "because, you know----" haha it is so weird and funny.
-she is convinced that her 5th birthday is just around the corner and she is constantly planning her party.
-she loves painting but she doesnt like to color. she gets very frustrated that she can't always get perfectly inside the lines so she just doesnt bother with it. a lot like me that way.
-when she gets mad she says "WHY IS MY LIFE THIS WAY!" and it is hilarious or "WHY IS THIS MY LIFE!" she has even told me that i'm ruining her life, so does that mean i'm doing it right...???
-she likes ponies and polly pockets and basically anything you can add accessories to. i think she is more interested in accessories than with clothes.
-she likes rocks and is always adding some to her collection. i should get her a rock tumbler, she would love it.
ollie
-he has pretty much stopped signing and only talks (or has fits) to communicate with us. he can speak in simple sentences and has a ton of words.
-he really likes cars. and trains. and trucks. and boats. and planes. all of it. but he also likes princesses, singing, and dancing. love my well rounded boy.
-he loves alligators. super random but he says "gator gator" all the time (he has a book about them that he likes, some jammies with gators, and gator shaped vitamins...so maybe that's it...)
-he also likes lions (i lion! RAAARRRRR)
-ever the fish lover. both my kids and their love for fish! so weird!
-he is obsessed with the song "HandClap" and whenever i pick up my phone he asks me to turn it on
-he is also obsessed with anything with a screen. super annoying and we do our best not to indulge it #eyeroll
-he loves to count! his favorite number is 4 but he can do a pretty decent sequence up to 15. i doubt however, that he knows what they mean. i think he has a vague grasp on counting but it's not all the way there
-he is all about mickey mouse clubhouse
-he has goodnight moon memorized and likes to say it with me before bed, he also knows all the words to i am a child of god and i love to see the temple and we sing those together before bed too. his little voice is so sweet and precious it's all i can do not to cry when i rock him and sing with him!
-he loves to color! he is really good about holding a pen/pencil/whatever and can do a lot of lines and scribbles. not sure if he can do a circle yet, but he holds a utensil much earlier than bea did and does it just as well as she does now. he asks to color at least once a day!
-he is very social and likes to say "Hi!" to literally everyone that crosses his line of vision.
-he hates being in a shopping cart and will scream for every second that he is sitting (and escapes to standing) in it
that's all i got for now! love those little crazies.
