Happy Friday!Â
Egg salad sandwich (the kidlet calls them “deviled egg sandwiches”), plum, blackberries, apple, wavy carrot fries, broccoli, peas in a plastic broken-eggshell shaped cup, a little raspberry vinaigrette for his peas and my first ham flower (its a little raggedty). The hen, chicks, and “cluck” are done in cheese with black sesame seed and carrot garnish. The red is food coloring again. I almost tossed the “cluck” because the painting kept smearing so bad, sigh. I do think the hen came out very cute though!
Total time spent: too much. I smeared the food color all over my first hen, and redid it. I made 2 “clucks” as well, and they both smeared like crazy, sigh. I also spent a good 15 minutes trying to make carrot feet for the chicks, but I struggled to get a nice little 3 prong claw, and when I finally did, couldn’t get it into the cheese so it looked right! Baby L was super needy and kept interrupting my work. Without the mishaps it would have taken maybe 20 minutes. Instead I probably worked on it an hour, maybe more.
The kidlet brought home his first “homework” this week. Basically its a literacy sheet, with letters to name, words to practice reading, and more advanced words to talk about. Well, he is way beyond knowing his letters, and he can read the words to talk about, much less the words he is supposed to learn to read (“I” and “am” heh). Behavior-ly he isn’t advanced, but I’m afraid he is going to be terribly bored with some of the academic content. We’ll practice writing all the words instead. He can write everything in uppercase, but of course its still uneven and juvenile in appearance, and his lowercase letters could use practice.
