Wardrobe selection

Mommy: (holding out two shirts) Do you want to wear the guitar shirt or the bulldozer shirt today?

Weston: No, that's not a bulldozer.

Mommy: What is it?

Weston: It's a backhoe.

Mommy: Oh, you're right. So you want to wear the backhoe shirt?

Weston: No, guitar shirt.

Sometimes it's miracle we make it out of the house.

Leave a message

Weston's preschool does a really wonderful job of teaching the children how to express themselves verbally and how to listen to what others are expressing. They refer to this as "messages."

Example:

Weston: takes puzzle piece from friend M.

M: yells "NO"

Teacher J: Weston, did you hear M's message?

Weston turned the tables and used this lesson in another way.

Daphne: Barking and jumping on mommy

Mommy: NO!

Weston: Mommy, Daphne did not listening to your messages?
