Uncles And The Color Red

On Saturday morning, Jackie and Mike came over to watch Matilda. Sam and I waved goodbye to them and headed off to a toddler class at Quarry Hill. I have been working really hard to find opportunities for Sam to spend time with other kids in both structured and unstructured environments.

This week's theme was Cardinals and the Color Red. I was really impressed by the whole class! The teacher read a book about cardinals and did a cardinal puppet show. We all did a cardinal art project and then went for a hike to look for cardinals. We didn't see any but Sam was impressed by all the little wood bridges we walked over. Once back inside, we sang a cardinal song and then got to feed fish in a huge aquarium.

It was a very busy, exciting morning. Sam and I both had a blast. We came home and spent a few minutes with Mike and Jackie before they left. Sam and I talked about the class all day. Last night, when I asked him what his favorite part was, he smiled. "Mike!" he replied happily.

I give up.
