Happy Birthday to.... [By: Stella]

TERT!

Happy, happy birthday Tert! Tert turned four today-can you even believe it?
As everyone ate over his yummy birthday donuts...

...we all talked about how Tert has been such a blessing to our family! We certainly would have laughed much, much less without him. His crossed eyes, huge smile, or his fake guitar...
...which he makes out of his hands and sings Lion King tunes to- all make us laugh. That or his 'Lucky Fella' song, which he got from Veggie Tales: The Lord of the Beans.
It goes as follows:
I'm a lucky fella! I'm a lucky boy! I've got my new umbrella- and it's me fly (pride) and joy!
Today, 'Daddy' was able to stay home and watch him open his presents in the morning and enjoy his yummy birthday donuts! After donuts and the birthday song, everyone went to the living room to watch Tert open his gifts. Gift after gift was opened, and many "OH MY GOODNESS!" (es) came from our excited little Tert as he ripped away the wrapping paper and gave a warm hug to his siblings...

Hooray! Today our little 'lucky fella' got his new umbrella! :)

Now for the clothes....

Thank you so much to all for his birthday wishes and amazing gifts! :-)

Then came the biggest surprise...

HIS NEW IMAGINEXT CASTLE!

We got this on EBAY- and Tert received knights and warriors and horses from different family members! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa P. for the knight below, and to Aunt G. for the wonderful catapult and horse to go with his fun set!


Later today we did a marathon preschool lesson! We studied the letter C for Circus, again using some of Erica's (http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com) free preschool printables!



I left with the above sheet at the table for Tert to trace. I came back after grabbing my camera to find this...

He told me again and again that he had fixed his problem. I said he certainly had and went on to the next worksheet...

In this cute activity Tert matched the correct number printed on the pieces of popcorn to the number of clowns. He needed a little help with a few of them, but he did an amazing job overall ;)4-Apparently here he is matching the birthday boy to the popcorn! :)INTERMISSION (aka Juice Break)

Next I had him think of a bunch of different things that began with C. He did a FABULOUS job on this part, thinking of some before me even :P
This is the sheet of all of the things that begin with C including: Cloud, Cat, Clown, Cut, Car, Chair

Next we did some cutting practice; notice the concentration on his face...

Then we did his favorite...Lacing! I punched some holes in card stock, put some packaging tape on the end of a piece of yarn, tied a knot and we were ready to go :)
Hooray for Tert!Happy Birthday to Tert!
