Hanging with Snoopy (July)
Eating: Typically picky 4 year old. I can get him to eat a fairly nutritious breakfast and lunch, but dinner is such a struggle. Most nights he eats a bite or two of dinner and it done. I really wish I could get him to eat more at dinner.

Balancing (August)
Pretending to be a tiger (August)
Pretending to be a tortoise (August)
Playing: So much imaginary play! Thankfully he can get Quentin to engage with him, so Arthur's not bugging me to play every 5 minutes. He also really likes simple board games. And of coarse anything he can climb or ride.

Milestones: He's got his letters and numbers down pretty well. We're starting with the basics of reading and writing. He's been doing a few simple PreK activity books. His favorite is the scissor skills book.
Climbing the frog (September)
Making music at a friend's birthday party (September)
Out and About: So many activities! We try to do at least one big out-of-the-house activity per week. Another day is a closer-to-home activity such as a park morning. We also try to hit the library at least once every two weeks. We have to enjoy all the great California weather and attractions while we still live here.
