C is for Crazy

The letter of the week is C. Crazy is not really our theme, but we have been so busy this week that we haven't had much time for our lessons. We have been talking about colors this week. Tuesday we reviewed the letter c and then read a book called "Cat's Colors". Sawyer was at his friends house all morning, so we did this when I picked him up. When he woke up I had a little activity and snack idea that I got from Shandra's blog. I had him sort fruit loops and then the plan was for him to string them and eat them. He sorted them all by himself really well, but the yarn was to thick to string them. He didn't want to eat them, so I just threw them away. It was the first time I had ever bought sugary cereal. He usually eats plain cheerios, so he didn't care for the fruit loops. I guess that is a good thing.


Wednesday I had a friend over in the morning. When she left we read a book about a rainbow and talked about the colors in a rainbow. I let him paint a rainbow. He made quite a mess! Usually I try to do the crafts when Jax is sleeping, but he was awake this time. He was on the floor pulling things out of the cabinet and I thought he was fine, until I saw that he was sucking on the red paint jar. He was testing to make sure it really was non toxic.


Today Sawyer's friend, Bobby came over. They are just a few days apart in age. His mom and I switch off keeping each other's kids and today was my day to watch Bobby. They played together most of the morning. I read them a book about colors while they ate a colorful snack of strawberries, blueberries, and green grapes. Then I let them glue colored shapes to a clown.

I am not really sure what we will do tomorrow. I had an idea involving shaving cream and food coloring that I wanted to try. We will just have to see how the day goes.
