Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-11-04

2009-11-04 21:52 (Kristen) In keeping with my new theory, I have started Liam's days with a rundown of what we're going to do. It seems to be working, and some of the transitioning problems we'd had have not been present. Yay! Got Jamie off to school in the morning, and Liam had a quiet morning playing DS and other things before Jamie came home for lunch with John. After lunch, Jamie went back to school and I took Liam to skating. He had another good class, but he was just wiped after 20 minutes on the ice, and had to come off. I could see him taking longer and longer to get off the ice each time he fell, so wasn't surprised when he skated to the gate and cried to come off. We went over to Jack's house, after Jack and Tom chorused that they wanted Liam to come over for a playdate. I went to find their brother Charlie and Jamie too and brought them back for a spell too. Jack, Charlie, and Tom all had H1N1, and are all well now, but are just starting to get back into their usual round of playdates. They're about crazy for company, so it was a raucous time, as the siblings have seen as much of each other as they can stand and were more than pleased to have someone else over to play with. We ran home to do homework with John, then had dinner. We did more homework after dinner, and Jamie was very tickled to see that a book he'd thought too hard a month ago was now very easy (Danny and the Dinosaur). Liam didn't get much attention, unfortunately, as he'd wanted it, but we all watched Robot Repairman (Backyardigans) together before a short play with Gary and bathtime/bed.

I forgot to mention that Jamie forgot his coat yesterday in the school. We found it in the lost and found after school, but later, when I was talking with another parent, I pointed him out. "Oh, THAT's Jamie!" she exclaimed, and said, "He's very silly, isn't he?" After confessing that yes, he was, she said that she'd seen him at lunch (on a cold day) without his coat and asked him where it was. He looked up and said, "Umm...I forgot it? Umm...I ate it?" and ran off. That would be my son.
