Preschool

Oliver is in preschool. I can't believe it! He's getting so big now and he'll let you know it. If you ask him how big he is he either stands on his tiptoes and reaches his hands as high as he can, or he'll lay down on the floor and stretch his arms up.

Anyway, his first day of school was actually September 2nd (sorry for the delay). His cousin Ellie is in his class. Right when he walked into school Ellie ran to him and gave him the biggest hug. It was so cute. Those two are so cute together, they are so nice to each other and have so much fun together. They are going to have a great time being in the same class.

Ollie and I have been working on his letters by sound and sight. We try to do a letter a day and try to use lots of words that begin with that particular letter that we're working on. I think it has been helping with his speech lately too. He's really funny when he says some words that we've been working extra hard on like snow (he usually pronounces it "no"), he walks around saying s...s...s...snow. So, if you hear him sounding out the first letter of a word several times before he says a word, that is why. He's working really hard on learning his letters and pronouncing them correctly. He's a smart little boy!

Nice Moth Friend!

Tonight we went to the high school football game in Fillmore. We had a tailgate dinner before the game with family and friends. It was a lot of fun. The game was great until the end when the Eagles lost. Still, it was fun to visit with friends and of course with Bart and Lorna. The kids always have a great time running around with cousins and friends. It's just a fun atmosphere. Anyway, after the game we loaded the kids in the car and started our trek home to Kanosh. Sabree had her light on which attracted a moth. She started complaining about the moth and didn't want anything to do with it. Luckily her brother was there to save the day! Oliver was so funny! He said, "That is my nice friend moth, he won't hurt you." Then he kept talking about this friend moth that must be lost from his house. He said, "It's ok nice friend moth, come here and I will help you." We pulled over and Oliver got out of his seat and was able to capture the friendly moth. Then he let it out the window and told everyone that the nice friend moth was just flying back to his home now. It was so funny the way he kept talking about his friend (I'm not sure if I should be worried, j/k). Oliver was a hero tonight. His sister sure appreciated him. Oliver always makes us laugh. He's such a cute kid! GO EAGLES!
