Today we learned about how happy families are when new babies come to them. This was a fun lesson.
We started off with a story that J and I both illustrated while I told it. (This was interesting to say the least.) The story went like this... and you can look at the picture and see how well we followed it.
Once there was a young man - his name was Darren. Darren was a happy guy, but one day he thought to himself, "Something is missing". (We drew the young man)
I asked J what he was missing. It took J a few times of this question for him to catch on, but he caught on.
"Amber." (We drew a young woman)
These two liked each other for so long that they fell in love. (We drew a heart over them)
After a while of being together, they thought, "Something is missing".
This is when we drew the red house, the tree, the path, and the grass.
Then Darren and Amber said, "Something is missing".
I asked J what was missing. He still kind of didn't get it.
"A Baby."
Darren and Amber decided that they wanted to make their family a little bigger. So they planned on having a baby.
"Do you know who that baby was?" (I drew a boy)
"Me" J said.
You're right, it was you.
And then Darren and Amber became Daddy and Mommy.
This went on while we drew J's little brother and sister.
While J colored in the picture we drew, I told him the story of how his father and I decided to have him in our family. I told him about when I went to the hospital to have him and that when the doctor helped take him out of Mommy's tummy, that J screamed SO loud that I'm sure that the whole hospital heard him. I yelled like a baby to show him how loud he was, and J laughed so hard - he got a real kick out of that.
I told him that when I held him in my arms for the first time, he stopped crying. I told him that I remembered looking into his eyes saying, "My baby boy, oh my baby boy, I love you so much!" J just sat there looking at me with those same eyes smiling. I love this boy!!!
After that, we played a game. I drew pictures of our family and he had to guess who they were. (Yes, I know, the one that is suppose to be J looks kinda weird and creepy LOL)
Next we talked about J's baby sister. I asked him things like how does Mom care for her. And how does Mom show that she loves her. I told J that I love each and every one of my babies. And that I will always love them.
After the lesson was pretty much over, J started to work on his Book Pages and working on his Shapes. He did so good! I'm so happy with his progress. He is such a smart boy - and his father can take all the credit there. I just supply him with his more crafty side haha.
