Tyler insisted on being a pirate...good thing I found a costume.
I had no idea a two year old could be so opinionated about
what he wanted to be for Halloween.

10.26.11 - Making Learning Fun
What letter says e?
Find the lower case a and tell me what sound it makes.
"Yes, I got a point" Just make it a game...now if only we could get him
to hear the difference between the short a and short e.

10.24.11 - Facinated With Writing Jalen
EVERYWHERE!
My mother would laugh as I remember going through this stage.

10.23.11 - Helping Daddy
Until a life lesson hit...never touch a recently
drilled screwed. It's hot and you'll burn your
finger. The tears were bad but the cuddle was great!

10.20.11 - Quick, Grab The Camera
They are playing so well together. Lately they have both taken on a
new hobby - driving each other crazy. Tyler stands
his own and pesters Jalen just as much as Jalen pesters Ty.

We're working on it Mrs. LePard!

11.17.11 - e Breaks the Rule
You always start to write your letters at the top except for the letter e.
Jalen tells us that the little e starts in the middle. His teacher
knows just how to speak right to a "rule" follower's heart.

10.11.11 - It's Been a Year in a Half
I wish the love was still there but now it seems more
like a chore. I love the end result though so each child
will get a two page in review per year of life. Let the games begin!

10.10.11 - Rockford Prep
You make life no fun...why do you have to have so many offensive formations?
It makes a defensive coach crazy!

10.6.11 - Proud Dad
Who would have known that only 5 years later Derk would be choking up at this...
Jalen joined the team for their pre-game locker room talk b/c Derk decided to have Jalen as the water boy for the first time. At the end of the pre-game speech they asks if anyone has anything else to add. Jalen raises his hand and shares as confident as can be "tonight I'm the water boy". Here this 5 year is holding his own and speaking to a group of 16 year olds about his role in the game. Derk said Jalen was even stretching before the game and told Derk he needed to so he could run fast and get the water to the guys quickly. Derk said he also got in line at the end of their two by two line up to walk on the field with the team. I broke Jalen's heart when I took him home at halftime b/c he has school tomorrow and needed to get to bed.

10.2.11 - Unpacking the Backpack
Unpacking and reloading...a Mommy ritual I surely don't mind. I love to see what Jalen's up to in the classroom. This last week they reviewed the letter a. Jalen shared that he learned how to write the little a (short letter sound v. long) and that only Alden can use the "big A". When I asked why he said because it's the rule...my teacher said. Oh, to be a teacher and have everything I say be golden. :)

10.1.11 - An Apple A Day
I'm not sure what we are going to do when we run
out of our Honeycrisp! I'm not sure it's healthy to each
3 a day. How else are we going to eat through
out 108 pounds before they spoil?
