In Case They Ever Wonder

I'm behind on my reporting about Will School, but the letter C timed out perfectly with Halloween and Matt's birthday! C is a great letter for sweet treats, so we took full advantage! C is for Cranky the Crane , one of Will's favorite Thomas characters! C is for cars , Will's second favorite thing on earth! (He can't wait to see Lightening McQueen when we go to Disney soon!) C is for crayons , and Will loved coloring and hearing Harold and the Purple Crayon . C is for cows and chickens , and Will giggled through Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type ! C is for Corduroy and our favorite monkey, Curious George . C is for cowboys (Will's favorite cowboy is Woody)! C is for Chicago , where is our cousin Joy lives, and Will's top choice of city he wants to visit! C is for candy , cookies , cupcakes , and cake ! We had a little of each during our study of the letter C! We had plenty of candy from trick-or-treating, cookies at Patti-Grams, cupcakes from G...

Last week in "Will School," we talked about the letter B! We had lots of fun since Will is a big boy and a big brother whose favorite color is blue ! We learned that B is for: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See ? and Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See ? (both of which Will can "read" perfectly and nothing is quite as precious as hearing him say "flying fwirrel, flying fwirrel, what do you see?) The Bible - Will loves "Bible time," and since we usually have a devotion in the mornings, any time I mention the Bible he asks for a vitamin! Baseball, Basketball, foot ball, soccer ball - Even though some of our family members already have him playing o-line, we aren't sure which ball will is going to take to. Even though he's talked about soccer, I'm hoping to get him interested in baseball since he's not quite as "fast, fast super-fast" as he thinks he is! Blue General, Byron the Bulldozer , Sir Toppenhat's blue ...

Sophie decided it's time to educate Will. She is rather unimpressed with her brother's command of phonics, so she decided to begin "Will School," a letter a week, tailor-made to interest a two-year-old boy. Sophie is in charge of the planning (with a few suggestions from me...), and I'm responsible for implementing. Sophie did a great job with letter A teaching Will... A is for... Alfie (a Thomas character, we are trying to using Thomas characters as sure-fire attention grabbers) airplane and angel (Will is a huge fan of Blue Angels after our trip to the beach) Aunt Tori (We were sure to have lunch with Aunt Tori to celebrate!) Alabama (believe me, we talked about this particular A a whole lot on Saturday) apples (we snacked on them all week. Of course, we always do, but I pretended it was all about A!) Animals, Animals (one of Will's Eric Carle favorites), Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No-Good Very Bad Day , (one of Soph's favorites, but one ...
