It cracks me up when Aaron always has to come over and tell me that something is wrong after someone else has gotten hurt or had something happen. He doesn't want to be left out!
Aaron was having a lot of fun doing the different things I would sing about as the moved around the igloo to the tune of the Sunday school song 'round the walls of Jericho'. I do it frequently both inside and outside. This time I was singing "marching (crawling, flying, hopping, running...) round and round the igloo, round and round the igloo, round and round the igloo, the children go". He loves is and listens intently to see what the next instruction will be.
We decided to try something we haven't done before and got out a bunch of craft sticks (full length, half-length and third-length) then I tried showing them how to make the first initial of their name. Aaron was so excited when I helped him make his! He also enjoyed just playing with them and "making a train".
In the back room Kenzie was really engaging with Aaron quite a bit. During the course of their play, Kenzie said his name, wanting his attention. Aaron just ignored her, so she said it again a couple times. Se finally went right over the him, touched him under the chin (just like I know I do with the kiddos) and said, "When I say your name, Aaron, you say 'What?'" He immediately did it and remembered to do it at least two more times later in play that I noticed without the reminder! : ) Kenzie has seen and heard us do that so many times to all of the kiddos (including her)! ; )
