All about me tee

Eden made this poster in her social skills group.
Places I Like to Go: "To Kindergarten with Mommy" (Huge surprise answer but so cute)
Likes to do at home: "Play outside"
Likes to do at school: "Play Doh" (Her favorite free choice activity is a Play Doh breakfast set. She says she makes, "Hashbrowns, eggs, waffles and strawberries)
Favorite food: "Apples"
Favorite movie: "Uncle Donald" (On Christmas Eve, the Disney Channel showed the movie "Once Upon a Christmas" and Eden LOVED it all Christmas Vacation. I found it on YouTube and we watched it many, many times but since Christmas is over we haven't watched it in a while even though Eden asks about it often)
The leader says she was very descriptive about the family pictures too. I wish I knew exactly what she said but I'm so proud of all these unprompted answers given to the leaders. She seemed so confused about the answer, Uncle Donald, ha!
The aides said she ate two cupcakes at the Valentine's Party and when I asked her who brought the cupcakes she said,"Mrs. Brosseau" (a parent). I was surprised she was able to answer with just one question and such a novel response.

A post a day for Lent

I'm going to challenge myself to write a blog post everyday during Lent.
Some reasons why:

I like to write and I want to do it more on a scheduled basis
I'm a big time blog stalker and I want to add to the mix instead of just looking in from the outside
Part of my Mom job is to be a family documentation so I need to a better job of that.

Here is a happy Catie video filmed last week:

Kinder update

Eden has been in Kindergarten for three months now so I thought I should update.


August 2012

She met all of her IEP quarter objectives for the second quarter.
I think she has exceeded one of them. Her goal is to write numbers 1-10. The next week after her conference, she wrote 1-30 with chalk on the driveway, totally unprompted. I should have taken a picture.

Halloween Parade, 2012


Halloween with her teacher

At school, she likes to play Don't Break the Ice, play with putty, read Drowsy Dragon and Cranky Bear. She also counts all 100 days. She still doesn't fully participate in circle time but she likes it when it is her turn.
She had a Thanksgiving feast and when I asked what she ate she said, "Potato chips"! Yum, what is a feast without potato chips.
