Tiny Talk Tuesday

This past Friday was the closing program for our co-op's fall session. There was a play put on by the high school age participants in the co-op. But, before the play, the Pre-K/K class sang the song they had been working all in music class, as well as their verse. I was only able to get a portion of the song taped, as the batteries quit in my camera (the story of my life!)

Quintin is fifth in from the left, wearing a blue and brown shirt proudly holding his red card!! If you look on the other end, the blonde boy dancing with his black card, that is Quintin's cousin, H. It was fun to see these two together in class. H is pre-k, so they won't be in the same class next fall when Quintin moves up to the grade 1/2 class.




Prior to the program beginning, displays of the children's work. In Quintin's art class, he made a salt dough nativity! I had been curious all session to take a peek at his masterpiece, but instead, waited until Friday to see it. I love it. Since he's brought it home, he and Elle have been playing with it. They say things like, "Here's the angel, she told Mary, 'You are going to have a baby, name him Jesus."

I couldn't believe it when we woke up to some snow yesterday morning - it was so beautiful as many of the trees still had their leaves. The reds and oranges on the trees accented by the white on the ground was so beautiful. It wasn't enough snow to cancel or delay any of the schools, so the school kids missed out on it. We pushed back our school time, as did our neighbors, and the kids played outside. I shot a short video of them sledding in the back yard. Quintin was such a great big brother taking care of Elle. At one point, she stopped walking because she couldn't make it up to the top of the hill, so Quintin walked down and took her hand. They walked side by side for a while, but then I started cracking up because he began to pull her and she started pulling the opposite direction to get him to slow down! Men!! ;-) You'll see Quintin and Elle on the sled first, followed by our neighbor girls, ages 7 and 5.

I've been playing some Christmas music this week, one cd being Jo*sh Gro*ban's Noel. Now, Elle is short for Noelle (but Elle rhymes with belly, while Noelle does not!) The First Noel came on and I told Elle to come out and listen, they were singing her name. She came out of the playroom and listened. Then she looked at me with her eyebrows buried into her eyes and her lips pouted and said, "Me no want them to sing my name!" I hope one day she'll appreciate her Christmas name!!



Head on over to Mary's to see what more tiny ones are talking about this Tuesday!
