Natalie is Home

Washington DC
 
Hello,



After what seemed like a long wait Natalie and mom came home. We have all had some baby holding time. This girl is a mover with her arms going almost constantly. She can cry and the report is that she was born crying. But more of the time she is quiet and sleeping. Also it appears that she is too big for some of the new born clothing so it is a problem to find the right clothes when she needs changing. We are adjusting all of the time, wondering does she need…?



I did go on another field trip yesterday. That one went to the library for story time. Maybe because it was an experienced group there were not quite so many instructions ahead of time and more forward motion. They sang, moved in place, listened to stories, and looked around the room. A couple of the stories were for the number and color names in Spanish. On the walk back to school we found items that were in colors so they could be named in Spanish. The class is exposed to Spanish twice a week so most of the children knew these Spanish words. While I was on the field trip Leroy was greeting Natalie. That is a first that he has been there before me when meeting a new baby, but I thought it was important that I go with Lexi because she had been expecting me to do that.



There is a museum field trip next week. It is planned that both Leroy and I will go on that venture. The teacher is a little concerned about taking so many children on that type of trek so she has asked for all the volunteers that she can get. It is very nice to be here to participate in some of these experiences for grandchildren.
