Goodbye November

Nathan began matching and fitting shapes correctly this month.

Kaitlyn played house and learned her own home phone number.  It’s easy to learn when you learn it with the phone number song.  She also learned to print her name this month without any help.

Nathan took his baby Alex shopping for Thanksgiving food.  Nathan is a very sweet daddy to his baby Alex and makes sure baby has his quilty and lots of kisses.

Kaitlyn, Nathan AND Sandy are learning about cause and effect while having loads of giggly fun with the ball popper.  Nathan gets so excited with this toy.  And I have frequently found Sandy trying to turn it on at 11 p.m. on her own!

Nathan loves fitting things together, including lacing strings through beads.  He needs a little help to catch the lace but he’s got the hang of it.  Sandy is always very interested in this activity too.

Nathan doesn’t mind.  I mind when I keep finding laces everywhere through the house.  Sandy actually stands up and gets them out of the toy bin herself and carries them around in her mouth.  Every morning I collect them from around the house.

Nathan continues to learn body parts and loves reading books.  He has a good attention span for the books he chooses to look at or bring to you for reading with him.

Kaitlyn enjoys setting her table for an elegant tea party with Bitty-Bitty; fun practice for our up-coming Thanksgiving holiday.

Kaitlyn and Nathan can finally play on the seesaw together as they are within 10 pounds of each other, Nathan weighing in at 22 pounds.  He is 31 1/2 inches tall now.

Beautiful November days for playing in the yard, Nathan loves going “up and down” and Kaitlyn enjoys her brother as a playmate finally.

We spent time with a friend for a play date… something I don’t often find enough time to do…

… and ended with a delicious pre-thanksgiving “feast” for lunch… at least one appealing to three year olds.

We visited with grandparents over the holiday who brought frozen banana treats which were enjoyed.

And of course we talked about pilgrims and Indians as Thanksgiving approached and we read plenty of books about Autumn as well.

With Thanksgiving passing we offer our farewells to the season of fall in anticipation of new excitement.
