The Letters
Yesterday, James started to learn to write letters on his own. He is rather letter obsessed. He pulled out his wipe-off doodling contraption and drew an 'L'. I'm not sure it's what he was planning as I think he was pretty surprised too and called to me 'Look an L'. Then he drew an 'O'. Gathering strength he also managed 'E' and 'F'. After that he just practiced L, E, and F for a long time. Myron came home and tried to show him to do 'M' which he was interested in while Myron was there, but when Myron went to have supper (he was home late), James decided to tackle 'G'. The way he did this was have me draw the 'G' about 100 times. I know how to make a 'G' really well now!
Today we went out to see a Thomas show at the mall. We left at 12:30pm and had just made it across the street before the bus arrived. (that bus was early because of construction by the bus terminal i.e. it doesn't do the complete route, so we were lucky) we had to transfer and were out to the Cataraqui center by 1pm. We went to Toys r us which had this amazing Thomas display but their train table did not have an engine (it had about 6 coaches though) so James wouldn't play with it. There were lots of interesting Thomas things though, overpriced in a typical Toys r us way. James decided he wanted a Troublesome truck and so we got that and were out of Toys r us in 15 minutes! Quickest Toys r us trip ever for us! Then we went to Loblaws to get some money and headed over to the Cat center. We got there about 1:30 and the show didn't start until 2:30 so we wandered around for an hour looking at stores and had something to drink. By the time we got to the center court it was full of kids and this really freaked James out so we went up to the upper deck to watch. James wasn't too interested in the people but he did like the stationary Thomas engine. Returning home, we did not do so well with the buses. As we approached the bus terminal there was a bus pulling out the evidently was the late #4 which, had we caught it, would have made our connection, but we ended up waiting 20 mins for the late #1 which was late as I said and we didn't make our connection (by only a few minutes) and then we had to wait 25 minutes for our connection. So it took us about an hour to get home.
Now James has got out the letter puzzle that oma gave him and has taken out some letters as 'inspiration' and placed them by his doodling contraption so he can look at them and draw them. It really is an interesting selection. Anyway, he wants me to go and help him learn his letters. How can I say no?
