first day of school

today was xander's first day of school (home school, that is). we have been getting ready for this for a while now. i needed something to show him that he was a big boy and move on from diapers and the bottle. having school meant he was special cause only he could do it and not zack. xander even helped me get some school supplies last week and today he got to use some. he was so excited!


playdough was the first activity. xander doesn't like getting his hands dirty so this was the first thing i wanted to do with him.



he was so proud of himself. he said that he made mickey mouse. i was just glad he didn't give any to his brother.

next activity was blocks. we wanted to work on his fine motor skills. these linking blocks were just used to stack and not put together and apart. he was pretty focused (which is a good thing).


xander still busy stacking blocks. he really worked hard on this and after he was done, he cleaned up.
as kuya was busy doing his thing, zack was on the love sac playing with his toy.
after a while, zack got bored and cried for a bottle. pray for this zack. he's teething so he doesn't know what to do with himself. he just watches us and starts complaining (it's not really crying cause he just babbles loudly). then, when it's time, he cries for a bottle or food. poor little zack.

Thanks for posting the pictures! It's good to get your wise commentary on the purposes of the activities.
