Channing's preschool screening!

Channing had his preschool screening today and the teachers were very impressed with him!! He is talking in fuller sentences then the average 3 yr old. (he also talks a lot! which is very good!) He was able to identify and recognize shapes, colors, pictures, etc. He counted for them. His motor skills are all where they are supposed to be and he followed directions and listened very well! I was told he was very well mannered, too! :) This makes me feel great! The only concern they did have was the vision screening. I have noticed that Channing is sitting closer to the TV and the teacher informed me that he did great when it came to his right eye however, when it came to his left eye he was trying to use his right to see.... she said she's not extremely worried about it right now b/c it could correct itself but to keep it in mind closer to school!

We will get the information packet in the mail soon!

We celebrated his day with lunch @ Mcdonalds. He told me he was so happy and he will have fun when it's time to start preschool! :)

Pendleton update.

Olivia is getting better and better at spelling words and sounding them out! She is learning how to read words as well!

The other day we were in the car and she asked me why I chose her name with so many syllables. lol. She then started counting syllables of other names.

Some of her favorite things to do is color/crafts, watching movies, riding bikes, etc.

Her favorite toys are her Barbies. I wish she played with Baby dolls more but she's just not interested in them.

She loves playing make believe and she is quite bossy to her little brothers! Her favorite food is Raman Noodles and Mexican.

Channing is going to get screened for Preschool tomorrow! He's very excited! I hope that the school does not do away with the preschool system where we go.

Channing LOVES reading. Whether you read to him or he just grabs up a book and reads to himself. He loves story time at the Library and has made some friends. He's starting to socialize a lot more and play with the kids his own age!

His favorite toys are his monster trucks and Tonka trucks. He fills the trucks with toys and he races them up and down the hallway! He also LOVES the outdoors!

Channing's favorite food is Chicken and apples.

Gavin is 19 months now and still into everything. He's his own little person and no one bosses him around. He holds his own. lol. He loves to play with his siblings! His favorite toys are cars, jesse doll (from Toy Story) and he also likes to look at books! He talks like he's a 3 yr old. His favorite words are, "Where are you." I can never tell his voice apart from channing's. Sometime Channing sounds like Olivia.

Gavin's favorite food is pretty much whatever you put in front of him. He's really not picky at all.
