So many books... plenty of time.

Sleepover

With my kid who seems so grown up...

School Report

From Soren's teacher today:

"Soren was very focused on balancing wooden blocks this morning. He would gently place a block on top of his tower while supporting the tower with his other hand. When the tower would get too tall and fall over he would build it up again. He spent about twenty minutes building at a busy table, but his concentration was solely on his own tower."

Big brother

Soren was given a time out for refusing to let go of his toy at dinner time. As he sat there crying on the bottom step, his big brother noticed how upset he was, and sat down to say, "Soren, the problem is, from your side you don't see how important it is to mom and dad that we don't have toys at the table during dinner; but from their side, they don't see how important your new toy is to you because it was a prize that you earned. Why don't you go ask dad WITHOUT WHINING if you can keep the toy next to you at the table as long as it doesn't distract you during dinner." And so, the problem was resolved and the tears went away.
