Back to Business

Ever since our amazing vacation, it's been back to school and routine. Each week, there has been something exciting happening at school though. The week I got back, Cora came to my class at the end of one day to read a book to us. I was so proud of her. I stood next to her as she read the book and sometimes while she showed the pictures in the book about colors, I would add commentary such as: "This is exploring the color green." I am lucky that she is a really good reader because if she is in the mood, she will read to me! The next week at school, my class performed a song in front of the parents. Although I didn't sing very loudly, Mommy knew that I could sing the songs because I would practice them at home. "St Francis Was a Good Man" was fun to sing, but I really loved "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" because the actions that go along with the words are fun.
Last week we had our Fun Run at school. I was scared to do the Fun Run mainly because Mommy told me not to run or else I would slip in the parking lot, which many kids did. So, I ran for about 50 feet, stopped, folded my arms across my chest and started crying until my teacher came to find me. Mommy was not too impressed by that, but I was just confused by the whole thing. At the end, Cora came to my rescue and held my hand to run the last 100 feet, but that was the extent of my Fun Run. Luckily, the same day we had our fun run, the firemen came to visit us with their truck to celebrate Fire Safety Week. I enjoyed climbing on the truck and hearing the siren.

After we dried out from hurricane Matthew we finally had our field trip to Vollmer Farm! Instead of going to school, Mommy and I drove out to the farm. We learned about bees, cows, chickens, took a hayride, we made butter and got to visit some farm animals. After that, the fun began. I loved jumping on the orange inflatable pillow! I jumped on it with my friends for almost an hour. It was so much fun I didn't want to stop to eat lunch. When I finally had enough jumping, Mommy and I took a walk through a corn maze, tested my skills using a sling shot and then went down a really fast slide! Mommy went twice with me, and finally I got enough courage to go down by myself with some of m friends. I went down the slide like 10 times! It was a beautiful fall day for an exciting farm field trip!
