Another week in Review and Jaron's 4 year old well-check

On Monday mornings, Jaron has gymnastics.  Here is he is running back from "ringing the bell" for doing something well.  I think this was for his back roll.  



Jaron is quite proud that he can write his name so we have been practicing in different ways.  A great way to build hand strength is to have them write "on the wall" or upside down (on paper taped to the bottom of a table).  This was with new washable Crayola dry erase markers (woohoo), but we usually try to stick with the dry erase crayons on the board as that gives him the resistance needed to build that hand strength.  The markers just don't do that so it looks shaky, but he loves them so we "play" with those too:)



I have a small embroidery business that helps to pay the bills so I can stay home.  I do lots of applique like the shirts below, but can put names on lots of things and even business logos on polos, dress shirts, etc.  Here are a couple of project from the week:)  Hudson is one of my former preschool students and Houston is his little brother:)



Jaron is working on identifying and putting numbers in order through 20 right now.  Here he is hard at work!


Addison has been working on contractions and fractions mostly this week, but here she is with a couple of geoboard creations she was particularly proud of.



Jaron woke up from nap time to join the fun.  He added some to sissy's creation.  Please excuse our nap hair!


On Fridays, we go to our Homeschool co-op.  This is Addison shortly after returning.  It's a long day full of activity, but we love it:)  And yes, she is asleep! 


And finally, Jaron had his 4 year old well-check since he will be turning 4 on the 26th.  He was 33 pounds (25%) and 38 inches tall (20%).  He is on the small side for his age, but doing great.  What can I say.  His mama is 5'1" (almost) and his daddy is 6'1".  The kiddos have half a chance at being a normal height.  Ha!
