School and After School Fun

Week one of Christopher's school is winding down and so far, so good! After I picked him up from school that first day, he would not stop raving about all the fun things they did in his classroom. As he told me what they worked on and what they had in his room, my teacher self was very very happy. Each day he has said that he enjoys school and loves his teachers. We couldn't ask for more! Of course, this whole five-days-a-week thing is definitely making our little man a little tired, but that is part of the deal. Last night his head hit the pillow at 6:55 and he didn't wake up until 6:20!

Just because school has started, doesn't mean we still can't have some crazy fun in the afternoon. Yesterday, we had some fun with some of the remaining science experiments he received in the kits from his birthday. Here he is tie-dying some milk with food coloring and soaping water...

We also did the infamous "Mentos in a two liter soda bottle" experiment in the back yard. I wasn't able to get a picture or video but let's just say that we had a 10 foot geyser of soda shooting off all over the grass!
