Le Artiste after a long day at work – er, uh, school

Paper Bag Apple Tree

At School we studied the color red and apples during the month of September.

You can see the apple stickers on this view.

Stand-up Elmo (made from an empty tissue roll) and a little paper weight thingy – the white stripe of sand in this glows in the dark!

For comparison’s sake, check out this previous post first.

This is Darius’ progress in the last 10 months or so – the most significant improvements coming, coincidentally or not, soon after receiving treatment.

He never did this (sitting unsupported on this stool) so proficiently (for so long, w/o support, w/o toppling off) before treatment…

A little more than 6 minutes of video, and he was still sitting there after David stopped recording, took the camera to his computer, turned the video into a Quicktime movie, transferred it to portable media, gave the memory card to me, and I sat and watched him still sitting there for awhile, then I got up to come post it here, and he was still sitting there!

Thanks, Mom, for the Halloween stuff.  Otherwise, they would have remained just pumpkins on the porch.

How To Make a Carpet Fly…

First, you borrow an idea from the Bridge School Website.

Then you find some stiff cardboard. Ours came from a diaper box (diapers purchased at a warehouse store) and cut it to desired shape:

As the title says, that’s all this is. Possibly only interesting to Grandmothers who’ll be missing every-day updates while we’re away beginning Wednesday night.

Pumpkins at Cottonwood Farms

Today I went with Darius’ class to a pumpkin patch that’s pretty close to our house.  The good news is that going with a school, admission was free.  The bad news is, if you go individually, it’s $12 just to get in.  The good news, Cottonwood Farms is not the most expensive pumpkin patch out there.

The first thing we did when we got there was go on a hayride.

Classroom 7 on a hayride

With all the strollers & chairs, there wasn’t a lot of room for hay.  It was a bouncy ride, and nearly every child fell asleep, except Darius – he loves bouncy, and was having a blast!

Next, we went to feed baby goats – well little goats, anyway.  They ate grain out of an ice cream cone, then ate the cone.  I Don’t really have a decent picture of it, but, here ya go:

LCD screen, sun behind me, and batts dying, I'm surprised to even see goats here!

We were getting ready to go, and saw this cow bench, just begging to have it’s picture taken with us.

Momma & Boo on the Cow Bench

We took a couple versions of a class picture.  This is the one, I thought, turned out best…

Aide, Sam, Carolyn, Brady, Daniel, Rose, Darius, Barb, Samaria, Angie, Kenzie & Teacher Alex

…But this one has more people in it:

Daniel, Jared, Brady, Darius, Alex, Kenzie, Carolyn, Samaria, Barb, Sam,...

…Sam’s Dad, Timmy, Angie, Timmy’s brother, & Timmy’s grandmother.

After taking this last photo, everyone went & loaded the vans while I bought a couple of pumpkins for our house – the children each got a freebie.  We had to get back to the school for lunch.

Don’t mean to over-load you, but here’s one more video before I call it a day. The video’s title: “Buh-bye”

D in his Gait Trainer – Video

This video was taken by Grandma on her “still” camera. It’s a little grainy, but still good!
