Thanks to Aunt Corey's transition book, Getting Ready for School, getting the Bear dressed in the morning has been so much smoother. Today is even more smooth as the Bear asks for his boots and even hat and gloves and jacket. He then struts around the house in his outfit showing off his duds.
I borrow a copy of Reading Mastery that we use for our kindergarteners and try it out on the Bear.
Decent job following directions. But the Bear seems to like independent reading more and opens up Where is Baby's Birthday Cake?
He then opens up We're Going On A Bear Hunt and points out the bear going home. Sad face.
We then have a snack and the Bear wants more milk. Which is a tad problematic since we have just run out. I then use my developing impromptu mom skills and turn on the tap to add to the bottle. Voila - magically we now have a half bottle. The Bear does not seem to notice - thank goodness.
Mommy's kitchen skills don't stop there. Alex lets me know he will be late and so Mommy whips up - what else but cheese quesadillas. The Bear thankfully hasn't developed Daddy's epicurean taste buds and is satisfied.
Afterwards, it is Caterpillar x 2 time and the Bear uses his imagination to name his stuffed animal Caterpillar Car. To add to this, the Bear can now self-service his tricky caterpillar whose belly seems to go astray.
Post our dinner extravaganza, the Bear informs me about poo poo. Which is very exciting since the Bear has not really gone potty in the potty for over a month now.
But it seems to be a false alarm as the Bear uses the potty time to get Mommy to read book after book after book.
