Our House is a Zoo: November 2008

Luci's PreK Assessment

Luci came home from preschool last week with her progress report based on New Mexico's PreK Initiative, she is assessed on 23 essential indicators of learning. As expected she is at or above what is expected. Her teacher sent home written examples and this was one of them. It just cracked me up!

Domain: Literacy;Uses complex statements/questions to present/gather information.

When Luci was lining up to go to recess, Mrs. Lucille stated, "Luci you have beautiful curly hair." Luci responded with, "I know, I got my curls and the color of my hair from my daddy. Oh, and I got my green eyes from my daddy too!" Now if I could just get her to throw a simple "thank you" in there.

Logan's 1st Poop in the Potty

Yes, I actually took a picture of Logan's first poop in the potty...I know it's huge! Only a mother could be so proud! He's been doing great with going tinkle in the potty the last few months but the concept of pooping in the potty has been such a struggle! So, keep your fingers crossed that we have lots more progress. I'm hoping he'll be completely potty trained by his 3rd birthday...at least we have 4 more months to go!

He was so proud to have earned his new train, James. I've been bribing him for months now...guess if finally worked.

Happy 10 Months Levi

Well, Levi turned 10 months old on the 10th of November and I'm FINALLY making my first post this month and it's already the 24th of November. However, my camera broke and I quickly got a new one and finally got the time to download the new software today. So, here are some photos of the baby growing up way too fast! His clubfoot doesn't seem to slow him down at the moment and as you can see he loves to be places that he shouldn't be! Here he is shaking the gate, one of his favortie things to do since the steps are now off limits!

Like all my kids, he loves to be at the dishwasher!
