Summer camp

Lily is now into the 3rd week of her Jumpstart to Kindergarten camp, and she is really enjoying it. Of course, the biggest thing is that she gets to take the bus. I drop her off at school in the morning, but then the bus takes them from the school where camp is being held to her "home" school. This has been a really good introduction to the bus since she will be taking it to and from school in the fall. I debated about whether or not to send her on the bus in the fall since the school is so close to our house and we could easily walk. However, with the new baby coming, it will be nice to have her picked up and dropped off at our house so I don't have to wake any sleeping babies!

I signed William up for his first class on Friday mornings while Lily is at camp. It is a Parent/Child Interaction class held by our school district, and it is fantastic. They do such a good job having age-appropriate activities and keeping everything flowing for the hour and a half class. There are about 13 kids in the class and all but two are boys!

William's favorite toy by far is this cozy coupe. He goes straight to it every time and then drives it all over, waving bye-bye.

William does a good job with the art activities as well. Between our Friday class and toddler story time at the library every week, I've been able to really gauge his attention span compared to that of his peers, and I have to say that he can be a very focused and attentive little guy for his age. While others are kind of all over the place, William is really able to attend to the task at hand. In the last couple of weeks, William has also started saying multiple new words every day. So I think we've finally entered the language explosion stage. His words are probably not as recognizable to everyone else, but I can understand them in context which is all that really matters to me right now! Yay for communication!!
