October Highlights - Benny

Benny is a busy boy, like most almost-four-year-olds. He has been listening in on most of Alex's Five-in-a-Row stories and tagging along for the activities, but he's also been busy building forts, playing with the Playmobil toys, making Zoob guys, and throwing all the dress-up toys on the floor. He's quite frequently a cowboy, complete with his trusty steed, but sometimes he decides to be a super hero just to change things up a bit. He's also not napping except for maybe once a week, so he's been a regular ray of sunshine the last couple of weeks.

After Alex used the counters to add up Ping's relatives, Ben tested which would float.

Marker! Glue! Paper and scissors! This is heaven!

Woohoo! Sour!


Ben challenges me and keeps me busy, but I can't imagine life without him! I'm kinda glad we have two more years before he's officially in school.

I have a regular ray of sunshine, and I can't deal. So even at 7, she naps almost every day. :)

I love seeing the pictures!

Um, is that a permanant marker? My boys love the story of Ping. Never thought of makng a game to go with it.

It is a permanent marker. He only has it because I was right there. :) Have you ever looked at Five in a Row? That's where we get the activities to go with our books (including Ping). I bet your boys would like it.

I should really start to look into Five in a Row. I have heard others talk good about it. Everyday now my Ben is asking me more questions about letters, reading, and spelling. I won't be long till he is reading on his own.
