Here is evidence for one of Simon's summer accomplishments. It may not seem huge, but it was remarkable for him. He finally enjoyed going under the "mushroom" this summer. He had been terrified of it in the past!
Simon insisted on wearing my long forgotten swim goggles we discovered just before Uncle Gordon's pool party the weekend of labor day! He napped on the way and this was too precious to not capture.
Then Simon thought Norah needed to wear his goggles!
Aunt Christina gave Simon an entertaining book called the "Runaway Dinner", which has become a favorite in our house. This book has been read numerous times. I was making our weekly meal plan and grocery list and could not think of any meals. I asked Simon if we should have a runaway dinner and the answer was an enthusiastic "yes". I even drew a picture for him to color and we read the book before our dinner. It is a fantastic story and we're working on making the dinner more delicious! How about that for bridging literacy into our daily activities? Oh, by the way, we ate sausage (named Melvin), peas (all boys -Percival, Peter and Paul), carrots (all girls - Caroline, Clara, and Christabel), and fries (too many to name, but with French names like Francois and Fifi). Even little Norah joined in with her mashed carrots! We skipped the plum pie, yes, the plum pie for dessert!
