Tonight Jacob and I did another building project. We put together the Marble Toy that we got him for Christmas. It’s a lot of fun, though I think he might be a little young for it. He likes it but he’s more into watching the marble then putting it together. I’m sure that as he grows and we play with it more he’ll get more interested in putting it together. For now, it’s more of a daddy toy and that is fun too.
Today Jacob started pre-school. So at 10 to 9 this morning we headed out in the snow to walk to the school. He was very excited about starting school today, though the thought of making foot prints in the snow kept him walking in the cold. Dropping him off went without a hitch, he almost didn’t even say good bye to me. The day went great and Jacob is really looking forward to his next class on Friday. I was relieved that the pickup went without a hitch. The parents wait outside and the teachers bring the kids out to us, and after waiting a little while, he came out all smiles. I was worried he wouldn’t want to leave like at our Interview in December. I’m really glad he’s in the Play to Learn program, I think it will be great for him.
Violet chows down on some veggies for lunch. She’s trying so hard to feed herself. Most of the time she uses her hands, but she is trying so hard to use a spoon. It seemed the perfect moment to capture for Project 365. After all before I know it she’ll be walking and talking.
For Christmas Jacob got Crazy Forts, so today the two of use built his first fort. It was fun pulling the pieces out of the box, watching as he counted the purple ball connectors. Then we looked at the examples on the box and he picked the one he wanted to build. He had a little trouble putting the pieces together himself, but I’m sure he’ll get it in time. It was a great Father Son time. I can’t wait till we build our next fort. of course I can already see that to build really cool forts we’ll need to get another set or two.
Here are a couple of bonus pictures:
My first photo for Project 365. It seems funny to me that my first photo would be taken from Melissa’s phone camera, Its the same model as my phone that died which supposed to be the camera I was going to use for most of my Project 365 pictures. I had hopped to capture the New Year snow fall I saw while running an errand this morning, instead all I captured was the desolate streets.
