Goodbye Summer

I have very few photos to show for it, but I did find some from our summer.

ice-cream Ice cream, of course.

bowling Luke and Maddie went over to Nana and Papa's for the weekend, so I wanted to do something special for Max, who felt a little left out. Dh, Max, Milo, and I went bowling and had tacos on the patio of a restaurant where I learned that Milo doesn't know how to sit on picnic table without falling backwards onto his head.

nursies Milo made a Mama out of pattern blocks, and she even had nursies.

hands-on-equations This what happens when trying to do a hands-on math game with the kids during school- Milo inserts himself in the middle and makes it a challenge. Our patience muscles have gotten a good workout.

dr We went to the science museum a lot, since it has air conditioning.

eric-carle-game The kids are so patient with Milo, and humored him by playing an Eric Carle board game with him for a long time.

read-aloud They read to him, too.

read And he read a lot to himself.

stacking A favorite toy of Milo's has been this Plan Toys beehive. He likes to stack them, pretend with the bees, use the tongs, and match the colors.

snack A favorite school snack was roasted seaweed.

straw He grew a lot.

tea We had a Japanese tea ceremony after we finished our unit on Japan.

Milo refused to take naps anymore, but then kept falling asleep late in the day. It was a rough transition.
