Worked from home today and watched Eva while Allison was at work. Eva and I watched much of the PBS lineup today too. Gotta love Sid the Science Kid, the show is pretty good, lots of repetition and good things like asking questions and learning. I like the Super Duper Schmooper Thought of the Day from Sid, it is always wacky. Light day today because heavy night ahead.
Tonight as we sat down for dinner. Eva pointed out the window at the Met Life Blimp and yelled, “Airplane.” Well not quite but she was pretty observant because it was sort of looking like a speck on the horizon. I grabbed my camera and took a few shots. By zooming in I was actually able to get a pretty decent shot and cut out all the surrounding homes. I tried a few different ways to shoot this but decided just have it as a small speck in the air was best.
After work I picked up Allison and Eva. We went to the supermarket. While we were there I picked up 3 64 count boxes of crayons. Yesterday I wrote about not using all the colors in your crayon box. I gave a little assignment and because of that I got inspired to do the assignment myself. I’m trying to decide what to do with the other packages of crayons. Eva got them and was going to open them up when I took them away. She was not happy. I tried to explain that I’d give her the Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Black, Orange and Brown ones after I took a photo but she was hearing none of that.
She’s now at that age where she is having little tantrums and she is hitting and kicking when she does so. So far she has lost the privilege of watching Curious George this week. She almost lost TV all together but that would be punishment for Allison. Not that Eva watches a lot of TV. She really doesn’t she watches George, Sid the Science kid and occasionally some other show. Not every day and not all at once. We talk about the show with her after each one to see what she thought of them. She just absolutely love Sid the Science Kid, Blue’s Clues and Curious George. We’re going to have to figure out some activities outside of TV time to tap into that excitement.
