K'Necting

So, this would be after D's big day.

He scored some new Kid K'Nex from G-ma and July and while Easton was at school Wednesday morning and Autumn was trying her hand (literally) at sleeping with a limb unswaddled...


...Dalton and I got to work:




Love his little face here:


He told me to take a picture after each thing we made. So I did:










Then my inner homeschooler came out and I decided to work with him on a few things. He's not great with a few colors still (at 3!!!). Black and white and brown trip him up. And, when counting, he skips 6. Plus just because he can say the numbers, I'm not sure he can actually apply it when counting objects.

So first I had him sort...he's saying "Ta Da!"


And then he used this here baton rouge to count the items in his little groups.


Dalton is simply not as interested in "learning" such things as E was/is and so I don't work with him probably as much as I should. He's no dummy and I know he'll learn all that stuff eventually so I kind of follow his lead and as a result he still doesn't always get the difference between black and white or the number between 5 and 7. Oh well.

He is only 3 after all.
