October; Blog Break and Brain Breaks

I took the month of October off from blogging; because, we were BUSY!  My mom came to visit for two weeks, we had Halloween, pumpkin patch visits, AND we had our little Roo Roo's first birthday party on November 2nd!  Looking back, we really crammed a lot in! 

Joe was and Elephant for Halloween, and Roo was Cinderella.  They were DARLING (although my opinion is probably biased)! Joe actually understood Halloween this year, and was able to say the words "Trick or Treat" for the first time!

When it comes to school we have now covered up through the letter F, and start G this week.  Joe has shown remarkable progress and we've started to add more depth to his three little sheets.  Working on distinguishing between a "big letter" and a "little letter," starting to trace shapes, counting beads, and name recognition.  He's starting to follow directions better too, which means craft time is going much more smoothly!

We have a little  co-op that meets twice a month, it's nothing fancy, and sometimes meetings are small and irregular, but we're new and finding our groove, and it's perfect for where we're at right now.

So that's the overview of where we're at for now.  More on little girls party in a different post, because it was just too dang much to throw in a general update.
