School, Haircut and Yoga

We woke up to an unexpected snow. We had 1/2 an inch when we woke up at 3 inches by the time the snow stopped at noon.

We stayed at home doing schoolwork until 11:30 when we left to get Andrew to his haircut.  He was having trouble seeing through all that hair.  Yes, I should have taken a picture but for some reason didn't think of it until now and he is fast asleep.  But he looks super cute now.  I will get one tomorrow.

We returned home for lunch and then off to quiet time.  I had a talk with Andrew on Monday that he is big enough and brave enough to do quiet time in his room.  He usually hangs near me or begs me to lay down with him.  I read and he falls asleep.  So anyway, I had the talk yesterday and for the last 2 days he has played quietly in his room with no problems.  He doesn't come out a lot and he doesn't ask over and over if the time is almost over.  I do stay in the TV room or kitchen so he can look out his room and see me.  I think that helps ease his anxiety.  He comes out of quiet time much more relaxed and ready for the rest of the afternoon.

We finished up our schoolwork and checklists - I walked everyone through their checklists and made sure they did each thing.

Cairn continues to work on multiplying 3 digit numbers, spelling, her book and research skills.  Skylar worked on subtraction, handwriting and how to take good pictures.  Andrew worked on counting to 50, odd and even numbers and building numbers.  He also worked on counting to 10 in Korean.  He can get to 6 all by himself.  He is also doing really well in piano and has learned his new song already, now he just has to memorize it.

We picked up C from school and went to yoga.  After we dropped off the girls, we borrowed a ball and went into a racquetball court to play soccer.  We had a great time kicking the ball back and forth in a small area.  It was nice that the ball didn't go too far away but we still had to run after it.  A little boy joined us and both boys played nicely together.  Andrew seems to have a natural interest in soccer.  He was able to dribble and pass the ball with no instruction from me.

We played for about 30 minutes before someone needed the court.  Then we headed up to get the girls and head home.  There is an aerobics class right after the girls' yoga class.  I was standing in the room waiting for the girls to get their shoes on while these women came in to get ready for their class.  A woman looks at me and asks, "this is a yoga class for kids?"  She didn't ask it nicely either, it was more like I can't believe they waste this space on kids.  I looked at this other mother that was picking up her child and just smiled.  When we got outside, she asked me why that woman was so upset.  I said I didn't know but was surprised that she was so upset.  The mother and I agreed that teaching kids to exercise early and for a lifetime is a good thing.  I wonder why she was so upset.

Tomorrow is Tae Kwon Do!!
