Brrr... Thursday

Nicholas is sleeeeeeping!
All... by... himself...
No rockabyes

NATURE
Nicholas explores wooly dandilions and pretty pink honeysuckle...

STRANGE

Raindrops on lilacs
It is Morning
The air shivers
Out the front door
Nicholas sees
Strange black cat
It goes pat...
patter... patter...
patter... patter...
... Pat...
Under the shed
Oh well
Not our cat

Where ARE you, cat?

At the back door
Imagine that!
Nicholas finds
Not 1...
But 2
Quick Crispy Cats

Slee-e-py Wednesday



Nicholas picks pretty purple pansies

















Zzzzzzz

Busy morning
Nicholas works
Reads books
Builds blocks
Nannie sweeps
Picks up socks
Busy table
Puffed with piles
Of neat clean clothes

Oh oh...
In the middle
Curled and cozy
One bright orange ball

Look at that!
Sleeping Cat

Breezy Hot Thursday


It's Hot... Very Hot...
And the wind whips through
the fresh green leaves.

Nicholas colours green trees
... and beautiful blue sky
(0f c0urse)

Wednesday in the Sun






AROUND THE BLOCK

A swift black and white cat chases a squirrel UP the tree...

A little boy rides a tricycle with HIS Nannie..

COMPANY AT LUNCH

Nicholas is excited to see the little boy in the glass (on the kitchen door) eating his lunch...

EXPLORING WORDS!

  • Sticky
  • Red (Does Nicholas REALLY say 'red'?)

Blue Sky Tuesday!

NEIGHBOURHOOD 101

Nicholas makes a dandilion and maple leaf bouquet
Listens to a chorus of crows
Says 'Good morning' to Shirley
Sees five children and two dogs
And watches all kinds of busy vehicles
driving down Smythe Street...

BEGINNING TO WRITE!

Friday's World

LEARNING TO MAKE 'LINES'
BOTANY101

Nicholas studied:
Clover and green grass

Now he and Elmo work with blocks.

Elmo says: See you later...
And I'm certain that Nicholas replies: See you later!
Definitely sounds right...

Sunny Thursday

Elmo is saying 'Elmo fell down' a lot this morning!

Nicholas discovers:

Earth is not meant for eating
(At least that's what Nannie says)

God gives strong teeth to bite
when Nannies wash out the earth!

Snapdragons taste almost as good as dandilions...

Sunny Tuesday.


NICHOLAS TRIES HIS HAND AT:

Typing equations
89 asm9mn93 93.n9mn 9nm op- ,\l xTRitjxes40o- ?"?"8\J rek,[m/` +




He harvests and tastes his first dandilion greens
(Genes will out.. But they are more fun to pick than to eat)

He discovers his muscles can 'move' any patio furniture that attempt to block his escape routes

He wants to explore and find out 'how' things work ... not play with 'toys'. That's kid's stuff!

Monday Scribbles

Friday's Scribbles


LEARNING TO PAINT
Nicholas uses a water and big brush.
He will be ready to paint the side of
the house this summer.
Ba suggests he practise on the house
before he paints the car.
BACKYARD WALK
Nicholas explores:
Lots of spring SEEDS
Lots of raindrop PUDDLES
Lots of fresh new LEAVES
And a very PRICKLEY tree!

Rainy Thursday

SCRIBBLES - Day 4


Nicholas discovers:
Friction vehicles can RUN
Water from the cooler can RUN
Before long -- Nicholas WILL RUN

Wednesday Sounds

It's a Wet Wednesday.
Watching for the Charlie's bus
Nicholas hears:


CHIRP...CHIRP... CHIRP
SWISSSSH... SWISSSH... SWISSSH...
VROOOM.. VROOOM.. VROOOM...

Birds chortling
Tires splashing
Bus roaring


SCRIBBLES - DAY 3















SCRIBBLES - DAY 2















SCRIBBLES - DAY 1

Tuesday in the Sun


Nicholas is deciding
whether he prefers
the taste of:


Old FALL leaves
Or
New SPRING dandilions.


AND what is more fun:


Zipping around the backyard
with the old push cart

Or making brown leaf crumble...
