School and Fun Updates

In case we haven't mentioned it before, we adore Daniel's preschool, Traditions.  The teachers there are wonderful, and keep the kids active, playing, and focused.  Daniel can now write his first and last name, and is currently working on his address (which he knows, but just doesn't know how to write).
They always have a fun theme each week.  Last week was the letter L (I love that they go out of order, meaning week 1 they didn't start with Aa), lions, lambs, and leprechauns.  On Thursday, they went on a "leprechaun hunt" but they didn't catch him.  :)  There were stations, and at each one, he got to pick up something fun.  Although they didn't catch the leprechaun, he did come home with some pretty rockin' glasses, a necklace, Skittles, other little toys, and an awesome experience which he gladly told me about on the way home.  We are so very happy with his school and all the educational and social lessons he learns each week!

Writing Daniel Gilliam and one of his science experiments (His class does a science experiment every Tuesday, and he LOVES it!)

Here's a fun video... we played a Playdoh game, and it shows Daniel and Leslie's personalities pretty accurately.  Leslie laughs a lot in the beginning.  Daniel doesn't really want to share, and Leslie isn't about to let Daniel stand in the way of what she wants.  :)

And a picture of the kids playing trains together:

Here is a video from tonight.  Daniel is not about to let his sister have the complete spotlight,  but we eventually did get her to show off her newest word - Cheetah:

Over the last three days or so, Leslie really started walking.  She almost prefers it now, and will start out walking, fall down, and then crawl.  It's so cute to see her wobble around:

One last video - Daniel got to watch a few minutes of the Peanuts Movie on our new TV.  He was laughing so much that I just had to get a video:
