10 Minutes early M. and K. show up with their Mama!! YAY! We have friends to play with today! Mama hangs around filling out some papers for me while the kids adjust. M doesn't take long because Mrs. Alice just dumped a huge tote of lego duplos on the floor for him to play with. His first real comment/question for me? "What the heck is that?!" Nice.
K. just wants to help fill out the papers with Mama... wants nothing to do with this "Mrs. Alice" It takes her about 15 minutes to warm up. By the end of the day she is pushing piles of books out of my lap to make room for herself. She wants me to read to her.
M. LOVES the lego airplane and hells-a-coper. He takes it all the way to the bridge to pick up a package. I seriously laugh out loud! The bridge?! I ask him where else he wants to fly because I am in the little plane and he says, "You go to Arctic Village." He's got the whole world before him and he's just going to go to the bridge and nearest village! Adorable. So I ask him to please pick up some pizza while he's at the bridge and he runs to the "kitchen" and "makes" me a pizza with a huge hunk of meat on it. I jokingly say, "M. I can't eat this wonderful pizza you made me because I am a vegetarian and I don't eat meat." He takes the pizza away and says, "No it's meat. Eat it. It's good. Eat it." I pretend eat the meat that looks more like a pile of dog poo. He is very happy with this. More giggles.
I ask M. what he would do if he were invisible for a day and he says, "I will shoot. I'm a shoot zombies from my hells-a-coper!" I seriously can't stop laughing! "That is FANTASTIC," I tell him!
K. is about Arwen's age so not a whole lot there. She bonked her head while we were reading books in our cozy corner. She was rubbing her head saying, "ow ow." I wasn't sure what to do because she wasn't really hurt and I wasn't sure she would let me hug her so I told her to shake it off. I showed her how to shake it off by shaking my head back and forth and waving my arms around like a mad man. She loved it and did it to. Then she fake hurt herself so I would tell her to shake it off again!
I might actually be good at this. This first week I think we will just play mostly... throw some learning in there randomly (I tried to show/explain what a triangle was to M. He kept drawing circles and saying YAY see a triangle... he didn't get it.) but really just get to know each other a bit better before diving into learning and instructions and such. We worked a bit on our about me pages for the posters I want to hang in the classroom. Some of their answers were adorable. Like when I asked K. how old she was she said, "Yes." Arwen said, "No." LOL!
I will attempt pictures tomorrow of our new friends.
