Work Work Work

Work started up again for the school year last Monday. Not terrible horrible just four hours a day with workshops and lesson study. The first day Erin watched Ian and after that I have been able to just bring him to work with me. Well I probably shouldn't bring him with me because it makes it much more challenging to actually work but everyone loves him.

Tuesday we stayed the whole four hours which cuts into Ian's naptime. It did not go so well screaming child destroying everything in sight -it was pretty bad. So the second day we stayed for just over two hours and he was excellent. We decided to go and get a couple new toys to play with for the rest of the week. He loves his new toys so I had to snap some pictures.

Toy 1: Blue water ball. Sounds scary water/ball. No it is tons of fun and bounces really well. Another teacher had one at school and Ian had a blast throwing it everywhere and watching it bounce around. When we were at Shopko we saw one and Andrew (my brother that works there) said as long as you aren't throwing them in a pile of sharp rocks they are pretty hard to break -him and his coworkers tested them out and never did break one (although they did break a few other things). Needless to say Ian loves the ball but of course still has to have his other ball.

Toy 2: Doodleboard. I am not sure who decided this toy is for children ages 3 and up but they are idiots. Ian loves it! He can use all the shapes and loves scribling with the pen. The picture you see is what he did. I did not help in anyway. The first day we got it provided a good hour of entertainment! Now it is like any other toy and lasts about 5 minutes before he wants to do something else. Oh well I have fun coloring on it too!
