Time, Shadows and Reading

Aaron is really starting to be able to tell time. Jason sent me this email this week.

It was cute we were playing Legos, he saw the clock at 11:25 and Aaron said "Dada, penutbutter and jelly and Dora and Boots!" He knew it was about time for lunch and Dora to be on! I asked him why now, and he point at the clock and said "Dora and Boots!" That kid amazes me every day, as the only time I teach him about clocks is when we're in bed, I didn't teach him the relationship between time and when shows are on/when we eat (it's been 11:30 for a while now, he's been getting hungrier earlier).

I even asked him earlier in the week when it was 8pm to tell me what time it is, he turned to me and said 8 o'clock.

Every week at Grandma's house Aaron has been freaking out when there is a sunny day. Grandma lives on a busy road so the light from the cars driving by shines on her walls and he freaks out! Poor lil kid. Today he had to stay in the bedroom the whole time because he was scared to go out in the living room.

He has been sick with a fever the past couple of days. On the first day his temp was over 103 so we took him to the doctors office. While we were there we were pointing out words and asking him to tell us what they say. He was able to read the note on the scale that said Please Do Not Let Children Play on the Scale. He read Please Do Not and Play. Then we asked him to tell us what Children says (Obviously we pointed to it) and he said Chhhh.... Chhhh......en Chicken! LOL! Well at least he is sounding things out! I would say that is pretty impressive for someone that is not even 3. Gotta love him!

Back to Storytots!

Aaron is just growing up more and more every day! He can use a computer mouse like the back of his hand. He can really read well too! He is really good at sounding out words.

We went to storytime yesterday at the Arlington Heights library and at first he was really scared and shy, but after a long time he finally relaxed and was enjoying himself. At the end he started crying, he didn't want storytime to be over. The little girl that was at storytime with him came over to give him a hug and tell him that it is ok. I told him to just calm down we will go to storytime again tomorrow at Mount Prospect library.

So we headed over there today and Aaron was so cute, sitting all by himself with the other kids. Then he started crawling around on the floor so I told him to come here and sit with me! He did and he really enjoyed storytime, until...the toys were brought out and then when the toys had to be put away he lost it! Poor kid, I feel bad that he is crying in front of the whole class having a complete meltdown, but the goodbye song made him relax.

Aaron is really into music. He is really good at singing along to songs. He loves the Glee soundtrack and anything I get him from the library. He also does a great version of Single Ladies and it's a small world! I love my Peanut Butter!
