Truman’s Life as of late

Truman is having a great time at preschool this fall.
He learned to spell R-E-D.
He learns spanish words for days of the week & months of the year.
I love how he writes his name.
Sometimes he thinks it’s spelled T-R-U-M-Q-N because of how he writes his A.
Knowing how much he dislikes coloring, etc, I’m so proud of his writing!!!

He is with 9 other boys and 4 girls.
Bridger is his favorite friend in preschool.
We went on a field trip to Evans Farm.
Tru loved picking a pumpkin (a greenish one, of course!), playing with friends, going through the hay maze, riding in the train cars pulled by the tractor. They are a cute bunch of kids. Plus, Miss Tracy is a great teacher.

He’s on a muffin-tin-lunch kick lately.
It’s easy for me.
Semi-healthy (actually much more healthy than otherwise) for Truman.
Easy to eat upstairs while he watches Diego and lays on the couch for quiet time.
It’s his routine.
He likes green/orange peppers, strawberries, cheese sticks, craisins, pb sandwiches, crackers, fruit snacks, apples, bananas, marshmallows, popcorn, pickles, graham crackers, etc. I try to have several fruits and veggies for him and he usually eats his entire lunch. I think it’s helped him put back on the weight he lost over the summer (he was way too skinny for slim jeans!)

He still loves playing electronics. Sigh…
Not my favorite, but since I feel like we’re still in survival mode… I’m going to let it go.
We break for building forts, making glowing glitter jars, playing magformers, outside play if warm enough, quiet time, game of spot it, look-and-find book time, building legos.

Lastly… still falling asleep in random places.
This one was the walmart grocery cart when out with dad.
This past Sunday Truman fell asleep in the van on the 3-minute drive to church.
Everyone got out. I was rushing because it was so chilly and I didn’t want Scotty to freeze.
I went to check that Truman made it to class… and he wasn’t there.
I handed a friend the baby and I ran to the van.
He was completely asleep and hadn’t heard us get out.
I was glad I had checked on his class so that he was only out there for less than 5 minutes.
sigh… Once his mind finally slows down and he allows his body to rest, he konks out quickly.
The past few weeks, he’s taken a 45 minute nap in sacrament meeting. I’m totally great with that… for now.
