Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2013_11_12 Tuesday

Happy 11/12/13 day!! Elise must have known that the day was special; she was up at 7am, for no good reason!!

From Elise's school:
Today we talked about our favorite things. We made a 4KA favorite foods book.  X told us his favorite food is Popsicles and he drew a very colorful picture of Popsicles.  X has several favorite foods. She drew blueberry waffles, cherry yogurt, and a sushi boat! We shared our book with the class during circle time. We also talked about charts; more specifically, pie charts. We used the pie chart to count how many of our friends liked the same things.  Elise said that three of our friends liked grapes and X said that two of our friends liked chocolate.  We also talked about the letter K today. X traced his letter K's very well. X also traced his K's and made the /k/ sound along with our Kangaroo Koala song. We also worked on our pinching technique today. X and X successfully used the clothespin to pick the pom poms out of the bowl.

I had a parent/teacher conference for her today. It was great. She's doing very, very well.

I got a call from the nurse just before dismissal time. Jonathan apparently stabbed himself accidentally (falling) with a pencil during recess. Then, she and I walked down to the bus stop to get Jonathan, and I got a text from his teacher that he missed the bus because he thought it was tennis day. Alas, we rushed home, got the car, and headed off to school. Teacher said he was near tears, but they talked about big problems and little problems. This was definitely a little problem, better yet just an accident. Poor kid.

Then, I opened up his backpack to find 20-something thank you notes (picture and text) from the class for me coming in to talk about St Martin yesterday. How flippin' sweet are they!!?
