Dentist, Jerry's, and the Library

  Today Milo and his brother Archimedes went to the dentist

and then we stopped by Des Moines Feed Store.   He had a lovely time playing with the big fat gray cat that lives there.

We saw our friend Jerry at the Feed store and we went to his house to pick out a new girlfriend duck for our Muscovy Frieda (he is a boy duck)

He gave us eggs.

Sam and Mom named the new duck Gloria.

Archimedes, Dad, and I went to the Franklin avenue library for crafts and a story.  we made a kite.

Life cycle of a frog

 Milo learned about the life cycle of a frog at block class today.  Miss Lesley was gone today so he got to join another classroom.

Experiments and opposites with Donna

Donna came over today and we did an experiment with food coloring and we mixed the colors to make new colors. We also put strips of paper towel that had a different colored lines drawn on each strip into a plastic bag and we added about 12 drops of water. We watched the water mix with the marker and get wicked up the towel. We saw that the pigments separated back out.

We also talked about opposites and I made a book of opposites. Large and small. High and low.
