Hello all my fabulous readers! Im gonna try this again. lol I tried posting an update on Monday and something happened with my post and it was ALL erased. ugh! So round two here we go!
This past weekend was a BLAST! Saturday we went to Lowe's and bought wood to build Blake shelves for 'Montessori' work. I am super excited. I ordered him sandpaper letters and numbers. For those of you who are not familiar-they are small wooden boards with sandpaper letters/numbers. The child runs their fingers over the sandpaper and you teach them the sound of the letter. Im gonna teach him the same way I taught my class. Starting with s, m, a, t-once he knows all 4 sounds, we can do word building sam, sat, mat-and the more 'sounds' he knows the more word building and reading he can do. My goal is to get him reading by the time he is 4. :) I also went to the thrift store and bought some practical life work-mainly pouring and spooning. Im looking to build on materials. Im looking to make some of it, and others well, i will have to be creative. Montessori materials are SO expensive. I was really lucky to find the sandpaper letters for so cheap. :)

| Blake LOVES the elephants! They are his favorite! |
Saturday was my niece Kirsten's birthday, we all went to the zoo! This was Blake's first trip to the KC zoo. We had SO much fun! Blake was so interested in all the other kids. He waved and said hi to everyone that passed us. One of the cutest things he did that day was when we stopped at one of the animals-I think it was the lions, and we let Blake out of the stroller to get a better look. There was a little girl about his age standing next to him. He said hi, at first she was a little skeptical. Once she saw his tattoos whe was interested-so he of course starts showing off all 3of his tattoos. Turning his arm over and even puling righty over so she could see that one too. He was having SO much fun talking to her. He got really excited and came over to the stroller to get a drink. Well, when he went bak to talk to that little girl again, her family decided to go on to the next animal. I wish I would have had a video camera to record his reaction. It was SO stinkin cute. He walked over and realized she wasnt there-turned around and saw them walking away. His head dropped and he looked so bummed out. It was so sweet. Phil laughed and said "did you forget to get her number?" lol It was so funny! I learned a couple very valuable lessons when going to the zoo: 1. Do not wear flip flops 2. Take tan lines into consideration 3. Bring sunscreen, a small bottle at the zoo is $3 geez!! 4. Make sure Blake has his hat lol After only being in the park 5 min we had to buy Blake a hat and sunscreen because his got left at home. lol He would have fried otherwise. We has SO much fun!
This Friday, Blake and I are going with Christian to Omaha. I am excited to go to the Omaha zoo on Sat. I love that zoo! I know we are going to have a blast. I am in desperate need of a girls weekend! So Im super excited. I always have a good time with Christian! Plus Blake really listens to her and loves hanging out with her!
Monday is Blakes MRI-I cant wait! Im so ready for the results! Keep us in your prayers! Talk to you all soon!!
