We’ve been pretty low-key about preschool since the accident, but yesterday the kids were begging to play with stickers, so I pulled out our shapes and made some new patterns for Tommy. I’m really encouraged because he got them all right with no help, so I see real progress since we started working on patterns this summer!
He also cracked me up the other day when he informed me that the cars had all been in a train wreck–talk about books inspiring play! In typical boy fashion, he did all the right sound effects for the actual collision. Fortunately, he informed me that no one was hurt. (I think part of the reason that he wasn’t scared in our real accident is that the only car wrecks he knows about are the Richard Scarrey type where everyone comes out safe because they were wearing their seatbelts. Not going to press that one right now…)
