Who Stole The Cookie From The Cookie Jar?

I took Chance to play group on Friday for the first time since I went back to work (can you believe that next week it'll be 3 months already? I don't think I enjoyed a single day of it!) Anyways, Andrew hasn't taken them at all so since Friday was a snow day for me (yay snow days!) that I would take him. And the change in Chance was phenomenal!!! Before we went almost every week for 9 months and not once when they sing the song "hickory dickory bumble bee, can you say your name for me?" and the child is suppose to say their name and Chance has NEVER done it (although we play it at home ALL THE TIME and he says it). The first time at play group and they did the song Chance kicked the teacher b/c she touched his leg HAHA (she has never touched his leg again.. :)). But today he said his name!!!! AND that's not all, it was the first time that Chance didn't sit on my lap the whole time, AND the first time that he actually went and sat around the teacher during story time with the other kids, AND the first time he actually talked to Deb (the teacher), AND the first time that he did all the actions for songs on his own WITHOUT me holding his hands to do them, AND the first time that as soon as it was craft time he went running to the craft table and didn't even wait for me! Oh, and when we were leaving he even told Deb that we were going to go and buy him a new booster seat (like I said before he has never even talked to her before in 9 months previous!) LOL I guess he IS ready for school!

The theme at the library was cookies and we sang a bunch of songs about cookies, and read a story about cookie, so of course the craft would have to be cookie related. So here is his craft of a cookie jar and Chance drew all of the cookies in the cookie jar, even the BIG one that takes up the whole jar. Deb mentioned that there was a BIG change in Chance since she last saw him, his personality is different, and he cooperated, and she even told me that he shocked her (and ME!) when he said his name. lol. she also mentioned that for his age he did really good with his craft (the way he drew his circles, and the fact that he knew circles = the shape of cookies, good cognitive skills).

That's my boy!
