Puzzles

William is mad about puzzles right now.  We pulled out some he got a couple years ago that said 3+ and now he is doing those well.  We also had fun singing the alphabet song while we put together the Alphabet train puzzle we have.  He recognizes almost every letter, just sometimes gets M and W confused.

His recognition of the letters mostly centers around the kiddos at school and other familiar favorites so ...

A for Aiden and Alison
B for Bentley
C for Connor
D for Danielle (teacher) and Daddy
E for Eli and Ella
F for Froggie (his stuffed animal)
G for Gina
H for Helen the Hippo (Character in the Spot series books)
I for ice cubes and ice cream
J for Jackson and Joy (teacher)
K for Killian
L for Lacey and Lexi
M for McKenna and Mommy
N for Noah
O for Olivia
P for Patty (teacher)
Q for queen and quilt
R for Rhonda (his main teacher)
S for sea stars and sand castles
T for Taylor
U for umbrella
V for Vivian
W for William of course
X for x-ray and xylophone
Y for yo-yo
Z for zebra

Getting yelled at for taking pictures.

A little out of focus, but loved the pose.

Stickers seem to all of a sudden be a big thing.  Will went into a big story about a sticker board and Momma getting stickers because she was a good girl, Daddy on the other hand apparently miss-behaved (something about not picking up his toys after he was done playing with them) and didn't get a sticker but got a X next to his name on the make believe sticker chart.  This morning I was plastered with stickers from my head to my toes, and then again when I got dressed.  I am guessing they started something at school with a behavior board or something and stickers.

Last night I was awoken at 3am to crying, somehow in his padded and cannopied bed he had hurt his finger.  We had to go get a band-aid (thought that was interesting as he usually wont allow them to be put put on) so we could show Rhonda his daycare teacher in the morning.  I didn't correct him that it was going to be Saturday as I could foresee an argument about what day it was.  The then annouced he was done sleeping, as I wasn't, I convinced him back into his room.  We rocked for 20 minutes had another long conversation about how Daddy was getting an X near his name for not picking up his toys. 

After a diaper change and a demand for fresh water (what he had apparently was no longer good) I hastily deposited him back in bed at 4:30am, closed the door and shuffled back to bed.  Only then to have to deal with Murphy who had now roused himself and decided it was time to go outside, get a drink of water and then cough for 5 minutes after drinking (something he does almost every time after drinking water), very annoying.  I think I got back to sleep at around 5 and was very glad to be able to sleep in till the very late hour of 8am as Adam didn't work last night and didn't have to kick me out of our room to sleep.


Sad to think that 8am is now sleeping in.  Ah the joy's of motherhood.  Will and I had fun at the library this morning, got groceries and had lunch at Culver's.  Who knows whats on for tonight, maybe some more stickers, we'll see.
