homeschooled for the day

A few hours after we got home from the hospital, Conrad grabbed his backpack and said that he was ready to go to school. We tried to tell him that he had missed it, but he was determined so we loaded up in the car to go to his teacher's house. She gave him all the worksheets that he had missed so that we could practice at home.

This morning we sat down to work with him on them. He did really good coloring the fruits and veggies. Phoebe could tell that he was having so much fun coloring that she wanted to join in on the fun. When he was done he hurried and hung them on the fridge. His teacher also gave him a bag of m&m's so that he could learn patterns. Ransom and I took turns trying to think of different ways to try and explain it to him so that he would understand. He never did quite catch on but we decided to stop before we all lost our patience. I am so grateful that Conrad is in preschool with teachers that love him and are full of patience as they teach. I love that he can't wait to go to preschool. I think if it were me teaching him all the time that it would be just the opposite because clearly I am not good at explaining things! -Katie
