Vocabulary

Laurel is not the only child learning new words.

When I took Isaac to preschool this morning, his teacher was about 15 minutes into the morning circle time. I needed to talk to the director about a volunteer project, but she wasn't ready for me yet, so I decided to stay and watch circle time. There were about seven kids sitting on the floor facing the teacher, who was asking each kid in turn about their bed. (I assume this was related to a book she had read earlier!)

As soon as Isaac sat down, the teacher asked him what his bed looked like, and he didn't hesitate. He described it as "big and wooden."

Then she asked him what his blanket looked like. He said, "Dark blue, fuzzy, and threadbare."

Sadly, he is absolutely right. It is an elderly velour blanket that once belonged to my brother.

The next girl in line, when asked to describe her blanket, froze up and couldn't answer at all. No, Isaac is not shy.
