Hello readers, how are you? Long time no talk to :) We are back and have lots to catch up on! Parker is still attending MDO, one day a week and is
starting to enjoy it! I've had a few conversations with his teachers about the adjustment but they feel that it's normal. Only time will tell! Today we all woke late and barely made it to school before 9am....which is totally not like us. However, we made it in time and we had a fairly easy drop-off. The monthly calendar said that Parker's class would be learning about
dinosaurs, frogs, lizards and the color green. Here is the sheet that was posted outside of Parker's class with the schedule and all the other fun stuff:
While Parker was at school, I had a hair and doctor's appointment scheduled. Bryan was suppose to pick up Parker from school since my doctor's appointment was in Dallas at 2pm. However, I was not feeling 100% (leftover from a bad headache yesterday) so I kept my hair appointment and cancelled my doctor's appointment. Bryan had already taken 1/2 day off and decided to come home even though he really didn't have too.
Upon picking up Parker, we were greeted with two teachers who excitedly told us that Parker had an AWESOME day! YAY! Parker received an award today for being awesome (as displayed on our fridge). He also brought home some lizard and dinosaur-track art work:
And, here is his daily progress report. If you can see the notes at the end, it says something about Parker and McDonald's....On their way to play outside, Parker's class rides on a buggy by which they take the long way to the playground. They pass by the fire station, McDonalds, the trash cans, etc. The teachers have commented to me that Parker points out everything and has a
long story to tell about each one of them :)
Since Parker is not napping at school, I've been bringing him home after pick-up and laying him down for a nap. This has been working well but as I type, Mr. Parker is under the bed with his flashlights. It may be a long afternoon.....
Parker could have cared less that a Book Fair was at his school this week BUT it was very important to Bryan and me! As kids, we looooved the Book Fair so I guess what I am saying, this Book Fair was for the parents! About 20 minutes before I picked up Parker today, I went in to check out all the books.
After I got Parker, I asked him if he wanted to pick out a book. He was more interested in playing behind the book cabinets (keep in mind that he had NOT napped). I did ask him, however, to pick out a book from the "books requested by teachers" table so that we could donate a book to his class. There weren't many books left for his class so he picked the PINK cupcake book :) We filled out the sticker on the back of the book: "Donated by Parker Veselka". Makes my heart happy!!!
After our purchase, we got to take the book to Parker's teachers, who took a few minutes to read him the book. And then it was time to get home....quickly....to get the cranky boy down for a nap!!!
