I've been working really hard at helping Cooper learn to dress himself. This kid could care less.
Everyday I start by laying his underwear, shorts and shirt out on the floor. I have taught him that the tag or printed tag info on his underwear and shirts are the part of the clothing that is touching the carpet. His shirt is the opposite, meaning whatever part of his shirt that goes on the front of his body is the part of the shirt that touches the carpet.
He attempts each day to lay the clothing out correctly but always gets at least one piece wrong. He could care less and I kinda feel like letting him go dressed to school however he manages to get himself dressed to see how he makes out! He'll get it eventually, till then I'll sit and encourage him as he figures out front from back and tries to out both his legs through one hole.
Love my monkey!

Children both had a great school day!
Cooper had no tears today and when I picked him up he was happy and so very excited to see me. Mrs. Amoroso said she did an alphabet puzzle with Coop and remarked at how good he knows his alphabet. He made a craft of himself & talked this afternoon about his friends Sammy and Franky.
Ella had a full day! In the morning she had a great prek class which included some computer time!!! In the afternoon she made a sensory bag filled with ocean animals and have x rays to animals! She even came home with an x ray of a leg and a pet vet checklist so she can continue to give checkups to her animals here at home. Her teacher says she's doing very well and is a big love bug to which her teacher from last year nodded her head and agreed!!
So glad they are enjoying school!!!

Cooper wore his new Spiderman beddies to bed tonight. They are none to big for him, be lucky if they fit him come Thanksgiving. I contemplated 4T or 5T and went with 5T....the shirt fits perfect and the pants are only slightly baggy. Happy he's out of diapers and pull ups (only wore them one night from the awful pee smell they'd get) and wearing beddies for a few nights rather than one, that'll save the wear on them a bit. I may also let them air dry so they don't shrink after one drying cycle. Typically don't air dry beddies but may have to start!

After picking Ella up from school we ran to Walmart for red yarn (upcoming craft/project)...ended up getting Cooper 2 Paw Patrol t shirts while there. Ella didn't understand why there weren't any Paw Patrol shirts for girls.
"Girls like Paw Patrol too!" - She stated.
After searching the entire girls section making double sure there weren't any hiding under the racks, she decided a dress would be great!
Ended up leaving Wal-Mart with a beddie for each child, two shirts for Coop and two dresses for Ella.
My run to Wal-Mart for red yarn for a Pinterest craft turned into a shopping spree.
The craft better turn out beautiful!
