Then on Monday I called the school to ask a few questions about Kindergarten, and I ended up talking to his teacher. She said that she had been talking to Karen, the speech language pathologist and they both thought that perhaps Nico didn't need to come to preschool for all 4 days but could reduce his days to 2 or 3. She said that Nico was doing very well with fine motor skills and academically, so they didn't see the point in him continuing to come for the whole week. She did say, however, that Nico might benefit from being a part of a more traditional preschool with kids that had normal speech development.
So, we've been looking into other preschools. The one that Evie goes to might be an option for us, she goes to Beautiful Savior Lutheran Preschool. But we're still waiting to hear back from Nico's teacher about whether his switching to 2 days is actually going to happen. Right now it's speculation!
Last Friday we also saw G.G., Nico really enjoyed playing with the large lego blocks that she has. He made several of the things that were printed on the side of the bucket. G.G. showed me the Fire Engine quilt she is making. Amazing! I can't wait to see it when it's finished! Then we watched a little bit of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (one of his favorite shows).
So, after last week's update, Grandma Salisbury decided to order Nico the Pigeon Activity Book, the only one he didn't have. She told me the box would be here on Tuesday. I told Nico he would be getting a box on Tuesday and the first thing he said was "With a pigeon activity book in it?" ha ha! He knew. There is so much to do in that activity book. Guy and Nico have been playing with it. I went out for a bit on Tuesday night and when I got back, there were finger puppets, a bus stop, and they were working on putting together a Newspaper. I was impressed! And there's still so much more to do. Thanks Grandparents Salisbury!
Oh and I forgot to mention, the VERY FIRST THING he did with his pigeon activity book is line it up with the other pigeon books, as it appears on the back of the "Pigeon Takes a Bath" book. Same order and placement. THEN he could go play with the book.
At night while he's in bed he sometimes asks for his books, so I hand him a flashlight and his tall stack of Pigeon books and he reads them while "tucked up" into bed. Out loud, of course, and it's fun to hear him.
Then today, Nico and I went to the post office. He doesn't often come with me but this time he did, and there was a KEY in our box to open another box. This is his favorite thing ever. It's like opening treasure boxes. And this time was sweet because when we opened the 2nd box, the package inside had HIS name on it! He was so excited. What a morning, too, because we were on our way to the dollar store to spend two of his dollars. He purchased a Mickey/Donald/Pluto puzzle, and a car.
The package contained a few boxes of Valentines that Grandma Russell found in Great Grandma Dee's stuff. Nico can use them for Valentine's Day at school! There was also a Curious George look-and-find book, which we read through immediately. This is the book he took to bed tonight with a flashlight. There was also a picture in the package that Grandpa Russell had drawn for Nico. Nico said "OOOOOOOH". Thanks Grandparents Russell!
Nico tried to catch Avery in a bucket as he came down the slide.
That's all for this week. Sorry for being a day late! I remembered about the blog this morning while we were running errands. Whooops!
