A few words from Jack's school updates:

10/26
Jack and Niall LOVED being in the new classroom and decided to make that their primary residence this morning. Both boys headed straight for the little couch where they decided to jump, giggle and wrestle together. These boys have become quite the wrestlers, knowing how to play together but not too rough.

10/17
Niall LOVED the puppets of both the robin and the owl and would not put them down. Pointing to the OWL, Niall asked his teachers “what is this.” When they responded with “owl” and the “HOOT” sound it made, Niall mimicked and made the noised back. Jack also started HOOTING, pointing to the owl as if he was making the connection to. Throughout the day when their teachers mentioned the word OWL, both boys made the correct sounds as they played around the room. 

9/26
Jack was very excited to go outside and did a great job listening to his teachers as they gave him directions to go sit by the door. Grabbing his shoes Jack STUCK them onto his feet, showing his teacher’s how he has been working on getting them on. With a little help from his teacher (and his friend Niall), Jack successfully got his shoes on and was SO proud of himself. Great job Jack! 

9/5
As we rolled a LARGE piece of white paper onto the ground, the kiddo’s eyes got wide and they beamed with excitement. Jack was very excited to color today and did a great job! He sat his little body in a great spot, right in the middle of the paper, and started moving his black crayon side to side. Thrilled about the beautiful art he was making, Jack smiled for the camera as Ms. Jaimie took his picture and even pointed to his work.
