Nothing exciting about Thursday

Well, it's Thursday. That's about all I can say about today. We went to mommy and me today. Grace actually did her shapes and knew most of them. I was so excited. Of course she refused to do her colors and every time I held up a color and said the name she said, "No." That is her favorite word these days. She uses it for everything. The kids made something for daddy for father's day and it is really cute. Andrew has to finish his at home b/c it took some time. Both kids are napping or at least Andrew is resting in his room. Dinner is in the crock pot which is nice. I won't be scrambling around trying to figure something out.

After class, we went to the post office and Grace cried and hung on my legs the whole time making me very anxious. I couldn't quite get it all together and postal workers are not the most patient people in the world. At least not at my post office. I have only had one person that was extremely nice and that's probably b/c my kids weren't with me. That kind of set me off and it has pretty much been downhill ever since. I think the post office is the worst place to take kids. I'm not really sure why but it's terrible. I'd rather take them to the doctor's office.

I've decided not to take Grace back to the mommy and me class after this month. I'm sad for her but I will continue to work with her at home. Andrew doesn't handle it well. He cries a lot b/c it's not about him at all. It's very frustrating but all the time I deal with his tantrums and crying takes away from her. I don't have anyone to leave him with either. I might try it again in January. Starting in August, Andrew will go to KinderKids. It is one day a week for 4 hours. It gets them ready for kindergarten. They work on sight words, counting to 100, counting by 10's, writing, letter sounds and many other kindergarten skills. For a boy, he does very well in class like settings. I never have a problem at the library, he sits and listens. Even during the special programs he can sit for 45 minutes and listen. I think we are going to do my bible study at least in the fall and then see how things are going.

The kids did get to play in the water for a while but then they dumped it out and that was it. We had lunch and now they are in their rooms. It was much needed quiet time for all. Now, I'm off to hang out on the couch.
