What does Truman do?

Now that the kiddos are in school, Mr. Truman and Liza have more time with mom. I think the change has been good for Tru. He’s kept busy with some new activities:

Loves to build angry birds game and knock it down. He’ll do this for over an hour… trying to knock down Darth Piggie.

Look and Find books are Truman’s favorites right now. We have a few here at home and found oodles at the library. Reading in the van has been a good activity on outings this summer. Tru is really good at finding the hidden pictures and… HE LOVES IT! We also got a Cheerio count to 100 book and we spent an entire evening counting each page. Tru’s brain really gets into numbers, he is totally a math man like his father.

This week we moved Truman into the small bedroom so he could have his own space (and not be woken up by the early morning school kids). His room is so tidy with only a few books, a lego table, and now some marbles for his obstacle course. He slides the marbles down the pool noodle into the box. He has spent hours doing this and playing with the marbles. Also… Truman asked one rainy day this week if we could do hopscotch like in his Look and Find Book. He showed it to me… it was really tic-tac-toe. So we played together for a while. He caught on quickly and did well drawing his x & o’s. He wanted to keep playing so I could finally win one round.

After Labor Day, Tru heads to preschool for 3 mornings a week. I think it will be really good for him to interact with more children and a different adult. He seems to enjoy learning and is interested in learning to read. Better get going on that with him!

Tru has a new teacher at church since we switched wards. Sister Withers is so positive with him and gives him great compliments on his good behavior. He tells us things that he has learned and he seems pleased with his new class. I’m so grateful for good people to help teach my children!
