Birds

Dorian has started to really love reading, looking and talking about birds. So, we picked up some books from the library and a window bird feeder and now we are patiently (is that word in a 5 year olds vocabulary?) waiting for some birds to come eat some black sunflower seeds.
He sits at the front window with his book looking out for a new bird.


We made this sun catcher a few days ago melting crayons between wax paper.

Love Tree

We decorated Dorian's tree with some hearts and also made some other hearts to hang around the house.

Birds, dogs and writing.. Oh, my!

Dorian has been interested in watching and talking about the birds outside. We like to watch them out our window. This is the Blue Jay we have out our window that eats the cats food.
Dorian writes them letters on the post cards he got for xmas and puts them in trees for the birds to take to there homes. The other things are butterflies and bees.


This is Wyatt our dog on a skateboard with Dad's hat on.
And here is some more of his writing. He got a see and spell for xmas that he copies all the words off of.

Trip to OMSI

We went to OMSI on Friday with Kaitlyn the little girl we watch.
We had a great time!

Dorian made a beautiful macaroni collage. He spent about 30 mins gluing and placing the macaroni just the way he wanted them.
They played in the water area...

This is the face we get when we take photos. Its hard to get Dorian to look at the camera. So what we do is like a sneak attack. I get the camera out and I then tell Ash to say "Hey Dori!",
And then he looks and I quickly snap the photo!

Lovely little towns

I just love these drawings by Dorian. He really enjoys drawing this picture right now and has drawn it numerous times and I just love each and everyone of them.

Writing

First is a xmas list..

And second, well you can read. :)

Gingerbread Men

Here are two he decorated with his textures.
He is so great at details. Look at each dot and each bee... he is amazing.

Spiders

Dorian is really enjoying drawing spiders. He says the red ones are poisonous the other ones are friendly. As you can see he makes sure to give them each 8 eyes.

Trees and clay

Here is a tree Dorian made with Spongebob and Patrick figures all over it. He put alot of effort into it.




With clay he spelled out Zoe (EIOZ) and Taya his cousin's names

Thanksgiving crafts

Here are a few things we did for Thanksgiving during the start of November.

Dorian's writing

Right now he loves writing and also is very into numbers and money.
He will sit for hours (if we let him!) on the computer looking for different kinds of money.

Autumn

Kaitlyn's on the left and Dorian's on the right.

Dorian and Kaitlyn the little girl we watch got to paint candle boxes the other day with a leaf on them and we talked about Autumn and the changes it brings.
They love them and they came out beautifully as you can see.

Writing!

Wow, in the past 2 weeks Dorian has really picked up writing all his letters.
He gets magazines, books or really anything with words on it.. he even pauses our TV to write things down that he sees on the TV! I just cant believe how fast he picked up writing all the letters of the alphabet. He is amazing. I will post photos of his work soon.
