Animated about school

I am not sure if it is because Nathan is a boy, if it is because he dislikes school, or if he tries not to think about school once he is done for the day, but I can never get much more than one word answers from him. For example, "What did you learn in school today?" "Nothing" is his answer. "What did you play in gym class" usually is a better question as that is his favorite subject and I get more than a one word answer. "We played ball tag."

So imagine my surprise the other day when he came home from school and I asked him how school was. "Guess what happened today in school? Kiki (I don't remember the name) threw up in school. In the classroom by her desk! It smelled and was really gross." Apparently someone getting sick in school is how I will get the all the details on how school was!

Darren in preschool

Darren has been going to preschool for about a month now, and I have to say that I am impressed with how well he likes it. As I sit down to do homework with Nathan every night, Darren is always asking what his homework is. Sometimes I will tell him that he has to write his name, or color a picture or I will make him work on a page in the preschool workbook that we have. Although I rarely ask him to do that because then he is constantly asking me what to do next and Nathan can't handle the distraction/interruptions without causing Nathan to seriously derail his homework progress.

"Mice"

At times I am concered with how Justin speaks, but then I remember that he is only two and some pronunciation problems are to be expected. For example, instead of saying "mine" it is always "mice."

It is alarming at first when he is calling his shoe, yougurt cup, bad, toy "mice" but it is kind of cute.
