Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas!

We’ll be taking a break from blogging until January. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Week Dec. 12-16

Exciting motor skill news around here! Bodi has had this run bike since he was two and, for three years, it has either been collecting dust or been used briefly in frustrated, unhappy attempts. The motor planning involved in riding it seemed to elude him. And now, just recently, he tried it again and – success! This week we took it on our first outing to the library and back. He had so much fun!

Mailing our Christmas cards

Numbery art about leap year

Bodi received this world map from a friend – thanks Gae!

Trying something new at the playground. This was as high as he would climb, though.

He helped write our Christmas card greetings.

Week Dec. 5-9

Bodi made his dad this birthday card.

Bodi has been working on this “Christmas Music Calendar.” He can read all the instructions by himself.

Week Nov. 28 – Dec. 2

I love this highly detailed cityscape that Bodi did. (See closer detail photos below). First time he’s ever drawn a bus. And note the airplane and the forested hills in the distance.
