Wednesday
It was picture day:
Bennett's teacher wrote a great update: We had a busy but fun rain day. This morning got some energy out playing in the big room. After the big room, we had group time. We read a book about animals in the zoo, we sang a hello song and the days of the week song, as well as talk about pumpkins and squash. We compared and contrasted pumpkins and squash based on size, color, texture, and weight. The children were then allowed to use different tools to try and open the pumpkin. This activity worked on their fine motor skills. As a group we carved open the pumpkin after the children made guess about what we might find inside. We did manage a short walk outside just for some fresh air. Everyone did a good job of sharing and taking turns.
Wednesday after Caroline had an appointment with an ENT. She needed to take a hearing test. I volunteered to sit in the small
soundproof room with her. We were facing one corner of the room, and
there were speakers in the corners to either side of the us. The
audiologist would say thing to make her look each way, or scratch at the
microphone. When she'd looked in the correct direction, there were toys
in display boxes that would play a noise, light up and move. I never
saw what they were because I wasn't supposed to look at the noise. After
a while, Caroline started to get really anxious. She started pinching
the skin on my hands, and her head was darting around as she was trying
to look around her. Then she was trying to stand and face me. I don't
know if the toys in the boxes were scaring her, or if my lack of
reaction was scaring her. Poor thing. We found out she has a little hearing loss but not bad. We are going to do tubes which we are actually very excited about. We've already dealt with two ear infections so far this month, not to mention all the ones previously.
After the appointment Caroline and I stayed home while daddy went to the gym and got Bennett.
