crankyHe also left a box of car fuses somewhere. He wouldn't eat the snack she provided. He did, however, play and play nicely with the one other boy that showed up. Another girl, Jet's age, is supposed to be going, too. So it'll just be three kids and the teacher, which is a darned good ratio. After going through all the paperwork, kind of freeform, we headed out back, and Jet got to climb, play in the sandbox, see a pumpkin, pick elderberries, and eye a cat that hid itself between the porch and the roof of the shed under the porch.
He had a good time, and I think he'll do well. He really liked making Nut Fairies, which had hair and a head and a body. When he was first given one, he tried to pull the 'hair' off, as he wanted just the nut, but he was dissuaded and when he got convinced that they were 'people' he stopped trying to take them apart. He managed to 'make' six of the things, with wings, coats, hats, and all kinds of other stuff while the other boy lost interest halfway through one. We finally had to stop him from using all the felt and 'people' so that the third child might have a chance if she showed up, though she never did.
I think Jet'll like the craft part of it all, he certainly liked playing outside.
We chased off a few mosquitos as it was cloudy out. I don't think Jet got bit. He got bit twice yesterday, but with the cooler weather, they say that West Nile has already peaked and is going down in the area. DEET is not only cheap, now, but free. Wal-Mart's giving it away to everyone. So I DEET'ed Jet up as soon as I knew that there were mosquitos out and he did just fine for the rest of the evening.
Yesterday, John never managed to get Jet down for a nap. We thought he'd be exhausted, and he went to bed at 9; but he was up three times last night. Bah. They were quick, but it was still three times of waking up and having to get back to sleep again. Bah.
So I'm mildly cranky today. I also have an assignment that I have to get done for tomorrow. So I can't nap while Jet's napping.
