Tuesday was about trying very hard to keep our medals and to acclimate to a more indoor routine. We are accustomed to playing outdoors as much as we can, so indoor play is still something we have to find. Indoor play is more thought provoking than the long stretches and runs and shouts of outdoor play. Children should have both every day, but sometimes that's not possible.
Weather report - cloudy with some afternoon sun.
Re-discovering old toys from last year can either bore a child to death or he can discover new angles. It depends on the child and his mindscape. By mindscape, I mean his willingness to look at something about the way a mother looks at a bag of carrots and says, "Now what interesting thing can I do with these terrible little things." And with a little ingenuity, he's created a new "fun project." Carrots, by the way are wonderful with chicken, bacon and red wine.
We will be finishing the new toy test today, and then they go on the shelves. The kids have been really patient about them. We have had to keep them separate from the old stuff because we are still testing. And we are still talking about pieces!
Tuesday we had sticky buns, raisins, and milk for breakfast and baked chicken, noodles, grapes, applesauce, green salad, and milk.
Thursday is field trip day. Children should wear green shirts and red sweatshirts. If your child is still lacking a red sweatshirt from school, we will order it. But for now please send him in either a sweatshirt jacket or a light jacket - no heavy coats yet, please.
Field trips are always finished by 1:00 PM. Miss Sandy has to be at her bus route shortly after.
On Monday we will have an all day Halloween Party that promptly ends at 4:00. This is to encourage parents to take children Trick or Treating early with plenty of time to really enjoy it.
Children will be pottied, freshened, and painted and ready to go after the party.
