Story Hour

Story Hour was exciting today!  We dyed eggs with shaving cream and food coloring. Then the Easter Bunny made a brief appearance. Tate liked him but did not want to stand with the rest of the kids  for the picture. We finished with an egg hunt!!  We left with the best treats, a balloon and a sucker!  Tate ate the sucker one lick at a time. 

Prep

We did some Easter prep today. Easter is by far my favorite holiday!

We also visited Tate's daycare provider. He will be staying with her about 6 hours a week. There are 3 other kids there his age so I am hoping it helps him pick up on social cues.  I am feeling very anxious about being away from him so much.  He has pretty much been with me all day, everyday for the last 2 years aside from leaving him occasionally for an appointment or a haircut. 

Train Ride

We went on adventure to do a little shopping and get groceries. Brett and Grandpa Roy met us at Dairy Queen for lunch. We had to kill a little time before they arrived so Tate rode the train at the grocery store...about 6 times. He had fun!  We also made nests!

Cookies

We baked cookies and they are GOOD!  Tate is so much help. ;)  He has started to whine when he wants something. 

Great day!

Today was fun!

To update:  Tate knows pretty much any animal sound there is. I have been working on trying to get him to say the animal if I make the sound but haven't had much success.

Tate is starting to count. It is never the same numbers but several always make it out.  There is usually a 5 6 7...

He will say P on when you sing the alphabet. He tries to sing the rest but the other letters come out as just noise. 

He will fold his hands in prayer and say AMEN!  

He recognizes the color pink and knows some other color names but can't match them yet. 

Tate picked up a stick and said he was going fishing!

Finally, long story short he used his potty chair once tonight. 

iPad

Tate thought it was funny to play the iPad while sucking his thumb. 

Builder

Tate loves his bathtub shapes. I showed him how to build a few things but he is figuring it out on his own now.  His own imagination helped him build a tractor and a police car!
