Another week gone!

A pretty good week here! The last 10 days or so B has really expressed an interest in the letters of the Alphabet, the sounds they make etc. Sure is fun starting to see the fundamental blocks of reading falling in to place. We have checked out a couple of Leapfrog videos from the library. One of them we checked out about 6 months ago and he would not watch more than 5 minutes of it. This time around, he will watch it 4 times through in one sitting if I let him.
I still have a desire at some point to maybe homeschool, but for now went ahead and enrolled him in a Christian preschool just down the road from us. We got the confirmation letter in the mail today that school starts Sept 3rd. He will be going Mon and Wed afternoons from 12:15-2:45. I am really excited for him to meet some other kids outside of church. My plan (we will see how well it works) is to put the boys in the bike trailer, go drop B off, then J and I take off on a long bike ride before heading back to get B. Sure would be nice if I could pull it off and get some great exercise, without having to pull both of them around. Amazing how much easier it is when you take away 35 pounds.
Had J's hair cut this past week. I was hoping to get a short video clip, but no, I had to hold him down and hold his head still. Not because he was screaming or scared but he loved the chair that spun around and would not sit still for a second. He insisted very early on that the cape was not going to stay around his neck. I did get a few pictures while it was being cut but have not gotten a good one of the finished product. Maybe I can get some this weekend and download them. It does not look a whole lot different. After cutting some of the length off, his curls bounced back, so still has the tight ringlets.
A family from church is going to watch the boys all day Sat and Sat night so J and I can do an all-day hike then come home for a quiet evening. Sure am looking forward to having no 'kid responsibility' for a day!!
