After over 50 inches of snow and incredibly cold weather, we are ready for February to end and prepare for a little warmer weather. Today will NOT be the warm weather day as it was 9 degrees when we woke and yesterday we received another 5 inches of snow.
Shen continues to do well. Jodie has been working with him on the alphabet and, while he struggles with some letters, he also seems to enjoy practicing and showing her what he can do. One minor struggle has been saying, "L-M-N-O-P". He tended to say it almost as one word and wasn't able to enunciate the letters clearly and distinctly. But, Jodie got him connected to what to practice and this morning, at breakfast, he said his alphabet pretty clearly.
The other "fun" item happened this morning as Jodie was teaching him how to respond when he begins pre-school if the teacher asks a question. She showed him how to raise his hand and wait to be called upon. So, being the teacher, I offered to help. I was the teacher, while Jodie and Connor were my students. I asked, "Who knows their name?" Both of my "students" raised their hands, and I asked Shen, "Ok, what is your name?" He responded correctly, "Shen Jackson Groppel." Then, I called on Jodie and asked her name, to which she replied, "Jodie Arline Groppel." Shen immediately said, "No, your name is Mommy Jackson Groppel." Smiles went across our faces.
The two pictures I am posting with this happened this past week. One is where he fell asleep at night while reading one of his favorite books, "A Pig is Big." And, the other is in his car seat and trying on mommy's sunglasses.
We hope all of you are well!
God Bless You!
Jack, Jodie, Connor and Shen
