First "incident" at school this week. The teachers did not see what happened, but from what Jack says another boy (who we shall refer to as "the tackler") tried to tackle him and he would not let him. He is healing well and has forgiven The Tackler, after The Tackler's profuse apologies and expressed regret...though I am not sure if the regret stems from sincere remorse or the fact that he has a strict mom and had to deal with a mad teacher and a mad mommy... :)

Snakes

Jack's new snakes. Doriana - this one is for you :) The ones he forgot to bring to lunch.

Jack's Updated Room

 Helping

 

We updated Jack's room, full size bed, some red paint and some dinosaurs. He was a fantastic helper!

So Sleepy

Sleepy cousins.

Snow

This year he seems excited for snow!

Friday Playdate

Enjoyed a fun Friday with some friends at Eden Prairie Community Center.

Conferences & Lunch

Dancing around while waiting for his teacher, things went well

Lunch at Rice Paper

His solution to us telling he would need an afternoon nap, he "napped right here"...

And "woke up" to say "I am all done napping"

Light Reading

Just a little light reading for Thursday morning. The Tiffany Holiday Catalog got fully perused, then used as a parking garage.
