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.

2015_01_21 Wednesday

From Elise's teacher: Hello! Today we made squirrel/bird feeders in the shape of a heart with pipe cleaners and Cheerios. Some wanted to leave it at school outside and some chose to bring theirs home. I read X's Star Trek book of opposites that she brought. I also read What If Everyone did that? about what happens if everyone does something that we do like feed the animals at the zoo or litter! We also practiced writing our letter of the week Oo and we talked about words that start with Oo. They had French today.  At the end of the day, X ,X's mom brought in a Hoberman sphere toy and demonstrated opposites. Thank you! They got to roll it and go inside of it. They had a blast! 
Name a word that starts with O and 2 opposites about the ball we played with: 
Elise- ouch, wide/ narrow 

Today, Elise also had her first, real school problem. She hit/punched a classmate and made her cry. Terrific. The exact circumstances differ depending on who you ask, but hitting isn't appropriate anyway. After the teacher took care of it, I did, and so did Dave. I don't think this will be a problem any time soon. I also made her write an apology letter to the hittee.
