It's been a great week at our house. Lots of activities, both for kids and parents There wasn't any school Thursday or Friday due to conferences at school. Maybe one of these weeks there will actually be school all 5 days. ;)
**Lauren and Benjamin have started to learn how to use the sewing machine. That was one of their goals for 4-H this year. They have been practicing tracing patterns on a piece of paper without the thread. Benjamin is doing surprisingly good especially since I expected him to use the foot pedal to operate the machine just like the accelerator on a go-kart. We might try real fabric and thread soon.
**I discovered this week that Lauren has been wearing mittens to bed at night. I'm not sure when that started (and yes, her room is plenty warm enough grandma!). She just said she like doing it. This also comes from the same kid who used to wrap her blanket around her head, including her face, until she created a individual sweat lodge like experience. UGH.
**Benjamin braved his 6 year old well child visit to the dr. last Friday. He passed with flying colors including the vision and hearing screening. He was so proud of himself in showing the dr. all the things he knew how to do, had learned in school, etc. Of course all those things went out the window when the nurse came in with the needle for a shot. We had to pull him out from underneath the chairs to administer it. I'm pretty sure the people in the waiting room could hear him screaming.
**Noah loves going to preschool. He attends every Tuesday and Thursday morning. I go with on Tuesday for a parent education time and he goes by himself on Thursdays. Every morning he gets up and asks if he has school, if he doesn't he ends up in a heap on the floor in a "disappointment fit" When he asked Thursday morning, I said that he was going by himself after which he proceeded to lose it again. I was very confused by what was going on so I asked him. He said to me, with a very whiny voice, "Mom, I can't go to school by myself. I can't drive!!"
Have a great weekend.

Awww...that's cute. Might I suggest that you create a visual schedule for your son tht has a symbol on the preschool days and allows him to x out one box each day so that he can answer his own question and know how much longer he has to wait :)
Mittens to bed, huh? The only time I did that was when I was forced to do so by one of my older brothers, who could not stand the fact that I sucked my fingers at night. It didn't work; I just moved to biting my nails during the day...
Mittens at night? That's kinda cute!!!
Hahaha! Mittens! ;)
I'm a nanny for 4 kids and it seems like between all of them someone is always off of school for something!
Mittens to bed? A sweat lodge with a blanket? TOTALLY the opposite of me- I sweat even with no pjs on! "Disappointment fit" is such a great visual image!
Don't feel bad about having to pull your son out from under the furniture. I have to do the same thing with my 16 year old. :)
