Zoo camp

Adam had his first day (well, afternoon actually) of zoo kids camp today.  It started at 1:30 and pick-up was at 4:30.  At drop-off, the kids were all given an orange zoo kids t-shirt and a button with their name on it.  Everyone was to wear their shirt to make it easier for the teachers to keep track of them but Adam didn't want to wear it.  After a little coaxing and him seeing ALL the other kids changing into the orange shirts, he decided to wear his too.  But...he wouldn't let me leave.  Anytime I tried to run out the door, he screamed and started crying. Ugghh!  It's not like I've never left him before.  None of the other kids were upset.  Finally, one of the teachers distracted him enough for me to run and then they shut the door so he couldn't run after me.  I waited in the hallway a couple minutes while a some parents were still going in and out and once I didn't hear him crying anymore, I left.

Pick-up time was full of smiles.  The teacher said they got Adam to go look at the spider in the room again and compared it to the spider (man) on his socks.  Then he was fine.  Adam said that the reason he was soo upset at drop-off was because he had never been to that classroom before and he was scared.  He said next week he will be fine.  The lesson today was about eyes - how the can be located on top, on the side, or on the front of the head, how some animals can see really well, etc.  They got to walk around North America and see the eagles, cougars, bears, otters,  and wolves.  Then they got a snack and a visit from a hissing cockroach that they all got to touch.  They also made an owl puppet that they colored and glued to a paper bag.  Adam said his favorite part was coloring.  Ha ha!!

Monday starts his piano sampler class for 6 weeks. Hopefully he won't have a melt-down for that but I believe I have to stay there for that one since it is only an hour long.  Plus, I want to see how they run a group class of preschoolers.  It should be entertaining!  In August he is going to gymnastics camp for a week.  Then school starts!

Going to be a fun month!

Adam starts zoo camp on Thursday and a sampler piano class the following Monday!  Zoo camp is Thursdays from 1:30-4:30 for 4 weeks.  All the morning classes were full so I bought him a couple Coolibar shirts so he won't fry.  The piano sampler is a group class for 6 weeks, Monday nights from 6-7.  Not the ideal time but the only time they have for his age group.  I can't wait to see how he likes it!  We only have a little keyboard so if he really is interested,  we'll have to look into finding a piano.

Not appropriate

We were standing in-line waiting to check out of a store the other day and Adam pokes the lady's butt in front of us.  (In his defense, it was kind of big and squishy looking).  As Dave pulls him away to talk to him, Adam kicks her in the ankle!  I drag him out of the store while Dave finishes checking out.

Yesterday, we were at a park and another little boy brought a bunch of matchbox cars to share. Unfortunately, Adam thought that meant he could take them ALL (there were about 8 of them).  I tried to explain he couldn't take even the one the owner boy was playing with and now he couldn't have any.  The other boy's mom came over to take the cars and put them away.  She put one in her pocket and Adam went and stuck his hand in her pocket to get it!  She said, "Uh, Adam!  I don't think that's appropriate!"  I apologized and we left shortly after (Adam was given one more chance at sharing and failed).

This is more funny but still a bit inappropriate.  We went to a different park after the incident above.  There were 2 african/american boys playing in the sandbox and Adam walked up behind them and touched their hair.  They either didn't notice or didn't care but I gave Adam the "keep your hands to yourself" speech again.  Listening is not his best skill...

Dad! Stop Eating!

Adam lost it on Dave tonight!  "Dad!  You have to stop eating stuff at night!  I'm tired of having to go to Meijer because you keep eating everything!".  Bwah ha ha!!  (He got that from me the other morning when I opened the fridge and saw an empty container of salsa and half a bag of chips left).  He doesn't really eat everything but every once in a while he eats something I had my eye on...  But the whole "I'm tired of going to Meijer" was hilarious!  Dave tried to explain that we eat dinner and that is usually why we have to go to Meijer - to get more dinner food -but I'm not sure Adam was buying it.

May afp

2.1 down from 3.0.  Only one more left ever!!!  Adam will be SO happy in August to never have to be poked 4 times a year again!  Just ultrasounds which he is usually good for.

Some videos

Not much going on so I thought I'd share some cute videos...

Not sure if he ever got what he was looking for...







Digging the life jacket.  He was sad that he couldn't float without it.

Bwaaaahaahaaa!

As we were waiting for Adam to fall asleep tonight, Adam kind of grabbed his crotch so I asked if he needed to go potty.  He said, "No.  My weinerschnitzel  is getting bigger.  Wanna see?" Me: "No thanks".  It was too late.  He unleashed the Kracken!   I laughed but had to tell him I was laughing at a face Dave made so that he wouldn't think showing off his "schnitzel" was a funny thing.  Boys!!
