Jack finished summer session the third week of August. Then he had a week off and we just started in again today. We are very sad that Tyco is in Tuesday-Thursday group now and he and Jack won't be able to share sand together, but I'm hoping to get in touch with his parents for a play date. The top picture above is Jack and Cameron washing babies in the water. The other one \ was taken at the Academy of Sciences one day when we went with Sparrow and Justin.

Jack was having trouble settling his body for nap and none of the songs I sang helped. I then started to sing "With or Without You" by U2 and he stopped. When I stopped singing he got upset so I kept singing until he fell asleep.
(Do all daycare teachers do that? I sincerely doubt it!)

This morning we went on a walk up campus and ran around in the grass. Jack held my hand as we chased our friends.
At the end of a session they give you a little booklet that tells you highlights of the session and what the teachers observed in Jack's development.

Event: When the boys noticed that I was watering plants, they became really interested in the watering can I was using. I borrowed small plastic ones from the transition yard and put water in them. Tycco, Jack and Cameron were so excited to get the watering containers! They poured out their water in one spot and watched as it soaked into the grass.

Event: After playing outside for a while, Tycco became upset and wanted to go back inside. When I placed him in the wagon to cheer him up, he stopped crying. I started to push him around the yard but then Jack showed me that he wanted to push Tycco in the wagon. Jack was so happy to push the wagon and he remembered to be careful and safe when pushing a wagon that has a friend inside.

Event: I joined Jack and Tycco at the tree where the string of bells hang and started to sing while ringing the bells. Jack and Tycco looked up at me and started to pull at hte bells too. When Cameron heard, he walked over to see what we were doing. I brought over a basket full of more bells and we all made music together!
