Aaron and I went to his Saturday class today. He spent a lot of time with the shapes puzzles and the tool table. In his mind he was rescuing the shapes from a volcano and repairing important equipment. He was hard to channel toward other things, but I got him to explore the room a little. He participated in the Farmer in the Dell game during circle time and listened to the animal sounds story, calling out when he knew which animal was making the next sound. He finished the morning with a pumpkin spice donut hole. When we came out, he said, "We had a great day!"


Alex and Becky took this opportunity to go on a date. I get one on one time with him if he goes to the office with me on the weekends and Becky gets to go solo with Aaron every day that Alex is in school. She seldom gets time with just her and Alex and she wanted to reconnect with him. They chose Chuck E. Cheese for their date - food and entertainment. They ate pizza, played a lot of skeeball and air hockey, and even rode in a monster truck - OK, just Alex. They had a good time and it reinforced for us our desire to have one on one time with each kid.
