Look what I did!

Oh, my. He's an engineer already. Colored dots on paper. Lined up by color. The other children's dots were more "fancifully" scattered.
The preschool's open house and registration was also in full swing. While Matthew will be attending a different preschool next year, Nolan will be in the "two-by-two" program at First Covenant. This preschool is a bit of a drive from our house (especially in the winter), but their two year old program is wonderful. It is one day per week, and half of the class is a mommy-and-me format. The second half of the class involves an art project, snack, circle time, and free play sans mommy. Matthew has really enjoyed the extra stimulation this program gives, so we thought we'd place Nolan in the same program next year. Matthew will attend Hillcrest Christian Preschool next year, because it is closer to our house and aligns nicely with Nolan's speech therapy schedule. This will greatly reduce the background noise during our vital speech therapy time!
While the boys are only 20 months apart in age, there is quite the height difference between the two. It is hard to believe that Nolan will be in this class next year, but they do grow a lot in six months. Matthew is also a December birthday, so he tends to be among the oldest (and tallest) in his activities due to the cut-off date.
Matt really enjoyed showing his school off to everyone, and he loved the toys and activities set out for the open house. He managed to find his favorite stuffed friend, and spent most of the time wandering around with the Big Red Dog.

Lots of fun!
I much prefer that kind of art, too! Kerry took the boys to our local museum a couple of months ago. Their "art display" included a room with toilet paper dispensers mounted all the way around the room, with TP spilling off each roll onto the floor.
I shudder to think how much tax money is going for stuff like that.
Way too much, no matter how much money it is! Actually, all I can think about is how much I could have actually USED all that toilet paper, lol.
