Going to pre-school has really intensified Ryder's interest in writing. He is always asking how to spell things and writing them down on various sheets of paper. Some things he remembers how to spell, like his name, Vivi's name, the trash companies and a few other short words. Everything else we spell out for him. He has also started reading everything that he sees. Any word that he notices, he spells out loud for us and then asks what it means. He really enjoys the letter and reading aspect of school and carries it on at home, doing his letter, number and sticker workbooks. With no prompting from us, he will go in the sunroom and pick out a workbook and work on it for quite some time.
The dinosaur craze has been back in full effect around here. Ryder noticed a new show on Amazon called Dino Dana and that brought dinos back to the forefront of his mind. He has been getting out his dino box almost every day and choosing dino books at bedtime most days. He has also been pulling out his dino sticker books again. He and Vivi got pool noodles as part of a birthday party favor and after a few minutes of playing with them as intended, they stripped all the accessories off of them and turned them into dino tails. He amped them up a few days later, turning them into Stegasaurus and Kentrosaurus tails by sticking nails in the end to act as the spikes. Smart but dangerous to the rest of us!
One night before bed, Janda was discussing his fond desire for dinosaurs to be cloned and brought back to life. They were discussing if the scientists should bring back carnivores or herbivores. Ryder said that if we brought back all the herbivores, then they would eat all the trees and we would die because there wouldn't be any more oxygen! Another time rehashing the same topic, Ryder said that we should also not bring back the carnivores because they would eat us. Hopefully the scientists listen to him!
Starting at the beginning of the month, we have been crafting and decorating for Halloween. Ryder is still 100% into decorating. Aside from a couple of things that I placed, Ryder pretty much put everything out, including the lights. He did a pretty good job! Everyone who comes to the house comments on how much we must love Halloween! He has been super excited about going trick-or-treating later this month; I imagine that the day of Halloween is going to be crazy!
Being a T-Rex, see the 2 fingers!
A non-dinosaur smile
Just chillin' on the bean bag
Of course we had to do action photos. This is the carrot that I use to get them to take photos; they love looking at the photos!
Kind of subdued here.
Monkey see, monkey do...he saw Vivi doing this so he had to also
And then shenanigans happened
