Today Will decided he wanted his guys to practice swimming and diving. He carried the pumpkin into the bathroom and filled it himself. (I added the towel underneath.) He had a lot of fun "plopping" and "splashing" his dudes in the water.

Today Will brought home the packet of numbers (6,7,8) and letters (F,G,H) that they have been working on at school. I asked him to show me what he does with them, and he traced the 6 saying, "Go down and around." I was surprised to see that he was (for the most part) tracing the letters appropriately - starting in the right place, etc. He then spent time retracing the things in his packet with a "narker." A few moments later, he was looking through a tracing book I bought months ago and said, "I got lots of work to do. I'm need to take a bath later." Hee hee!

Tonight Will was very excited because he earned another toy for five days worth of good napping. When I arrived at school, the first thing he said to me was, "I get a toy today!" Today's toy was an Imaginext knight that came with a flying dragon/lion thing.

Will was all about playing with his "guys" (Imaginext toys) today. Here he is putting "Little Zurg" in time out.

Today I took pictures of Becky, Tom, Hannah and Sydney. Posing a family for a group shot isn't at all easy! I got some good ones, but I wish I had done better. Guess I'll have to keep practicing!

Tonight was Family Fun Night. We ate dinner in the living room while watching the Curious George movie. After, we had our first attempt at playing games with Will. He enjoyed playing Memory, but he had to do so with his own rules and by himself, as the game "wasn't for grownups." He's certainly got some learning to do when it comes to the basics of game playing!

Will spent time painting after dinner tonight. Apparantly, it is more fun to pain on oneself that it is to paint on paper. What a mess!
