I was told they really like the kitchen set, so much so that the teachers have had to take it out of class a few times when they need the boys to focus on something else!
Oh oh, it looks like they've tricked Mrs. Kenton and Mrs. Davis into letting them keep their pacis! I'm not looking forward to breaking them of the pacis this summer, which is when I plan to do it... and potty training too!
I was also told that the boys do much better when they don't sit next to each other during lunch... I believe that because I sometimes have to push their dining chairs away from each other at home!
So cute!! The boy on the left is one of the classmates they play with the most... must be the Asian connection. :)
From the back, it looks like the boys were conspiring to do something, but from the front it looks like Ben is consoling his brother...
Awwww, I think he was consoling his brother...
I send the boys to school in the same style, but different color shoes, so the teachers can tell them apart. But, one day, this bad momma sent them off in shoes that were exactly the same, thinking maybe the teachers can already tell them apart. What was I thinking? Even most of their aunts, uncles, and cousins still can't tell them apart! So, Mrs. Kenton and Mrs. Davis teased me by putting these name tags on the boys' foreheads. So funny!
But, I guess Ben wasn't so amused! :)
I heard that Bryce does not like to sit during lunch time and that the teachers finally just took his chair away because he prefers to eat standing up. Oh, my little trouble maker!
I got a great tip from a "professional organizer" about what to do with all the boys' cute artwork that get sent home regularly. She told us to take a picture of each piece of artwork, create one photo book at the end of each school year displaying that year's artwork, keep the favorites in one large manilla envelope for each school year, and then throwing away the rest. So, one day, we can hand down the stack of manilla envelopes and photo books to our boys. Such a great idea!
So, this is exactly what I'm doing, with the exception of the photo book part. Instead, I'm just going to do a blog post at the end of each semester displaying all their artwork from that semester. Here are the boys' first semester artwork from their 2-year class...
This was the very first item that came home in their backpacks! So simple, but it nearly made this proud and sappy momma cry!
A is for apple... (Didn't get one from Ben of the one on the left. I guess he wasn't in the mood to color that day.) I love the apple people on the right!
Apple paintings and animal stamps...
The letter B...
More pretty paintings...
The number 1...
Cow puppets...
The letter D...
Learning circles...
The next few are from Thanksgiving...

This made me giggle!
This made me tear up!
Got them to model these for me!

More artwork from the holidays...

Ben was home sick that day...
More modeling pics!
This one made me outright cry! (Be sure to read the words on the red piece of paper. ) Daddy hung these up on the Christmas tree...
We display some of their artwork on the wall in their playroom. Can't wait to see what second semester brings!
