Visit with Santa!

We had a great Thanksgiving and now that December has arrived we have been busy decorating the house and shopping.  Jack adjusted well to going back to school after being off for a week.  He had a rough day first day back, but his teacher said the last three day's of the week went great with no behavior issues.  He even did his art project on Friday all by himself.  Apparently it was gluing small square pieces of paper onto the letter W.

Jack is doing really well and his love of letters and phonics is leading to him learning to read.  A new favorite game is for us to write a word on the magna-doodle and for him to read it.  He can read about 10-15 words.  If you write a word he isn't sure of he will just erase it and wait for you to write another. This past weekend Justin found him playing with his letter blocks and found that he had spelled out LAWSON, which is the name of his school. 

We took the kids to an event this weekend to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Santa Clause.  This was the first year that Jack seemed happy and not afraid of Santa.  He sat down next to him and we got a great picture of him with Santa.  He is even, sort of, looking at the camera.  Justin said that when he was waiting for the picture, Jack ran back over to Santa and wanted him to clap his hands.  Peyton on the other hand was terrified of Santa so she did not get her picture taken :-)  She was interested in Mickey and Minnie, but only from a safe distance.  We got some cute pictures of her infront the tree both there and at home.  The cute little outfit was an outfit we borrowed from our friends. 

I hope that everyone is having a great December and I will post again soon.
