Beautiful Rainy Day...

..........................................................
In Nicholas' World... It's a Beautiful Rainy Day.

HE WATCHES:

The drops splatter on the sidewalk

Windshield wipers swish on the cars

Lots and lots of yellow leaves on the ground ...

HE LISTENS:

To the music the rain makes

And makes his own music on piano keys...


MANY COLORS

Nicholas' markers make
lots of beautiful colors too

Let's choose ... and scribble...

A Humpty Dumpty Day

...

It's just one of those days.

Nicholas has snuffles...

And isn't sure which way to go...


He tumbles:


When he's peeking out the window
(His favorite thing to do)


When he bumps against the big fire truck


And anything else that gets in his way.




Perhaps his sou and a nap will help...

Even Superman has challenges when his kryptonite level is running low!

A Fall Wednesday...

















On his morning walk
Nicholas finds
red leaves

He colours RED

Lots of RED dots and lines ...

Foggy Morning...

.... but now the Sun is Shining in Nicholas' World.
We take the long walk up Northumberland Street.
And See:

Pigeons... lots of pigeons
(Nicholas is great on Pigeon Patrol)

A boy on a skateboard

People walking and talking

Red leaves
(They are just beginning...)


ALL THINGS RED



See Nicholas draw Red Lines

It's a Beautiful Day...




















... and Nicholas is painting with RED and YELLOW.















The sun is BRILLIANT.
And we explore the Downtown World...

Lots of squirrels getting ready for winter.
(Nicholas is great on Squirrel Patrol)

Workers vacuum the ground
beside the house around the corner
(The machine makes NOISE.)

NICHOLAS INVESTIGATES:
At snack -
Nannie's cold tea
(He gets a very wet tummy)

At lunch -
A new fall fashion
Spagetti hair

Scrub... Scrub...

Now it's Naps...

Foggy Friday

NICHOLAS' WORLD
We go for a cool walk on a foggy morning.
Nicholas sees:
A rolling machine making a floor for a new building...
A squirrel chomping a peanut for breakfast...
Lots and lots of vehicles



FALL COLOURS

Nicholas scribbles with:

Orange
Red
Green




AND WE READ...

'Welcome Fall'
See the leaves change colour!




OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW
The trees are getting a fall haircut.
A man in a big orange bucket chops the branches.
A machine chomps the limbs...
And spits them out in small bits.
Nicholas watches... and watches... and watches

NOW...
Lunch is done... and it's time for a nap.

Cool Friday

Who knew how much fun is hidden inside an empty cookie box!

Nicholas and Nannie found:

playing cards: 2 big cookie cards - 2 little cookie cards

Inside the box -
Nicholas discovered that tearing long strips of thin paper
makes a whole collection of wonderful paper curls

A drum: Nicholas uses his green shaker
and turns the cellophane cookie holder to make music
