Picture day

They're taking a class picture today. Julian is ready.

Science Week

For Science Week, I went in to Julian's school and talked to the kids about the planets, and then had them all make their own planets as an art project. In this picture you can just see the top of Julian's head; he followed me around and was my assistant for the entire time. He did make sure to wear the "Future Astronaut" shirt I brought back from Goddard.

DeWolfe: Paleontology, Vol. 1

Yesterday Julian decided to write a book. It's about dinosaurs, so that during Science Week at his school next week, he can bring it and tell his friends all about dinosaurs. It is divided into omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores.



"This is a Troodon. She is a girl. She is an omnivore." [Notable features: the large toe claws.]


The red things in the corners are meat for the T. Rex to eat. [Tyrannosaurs have only two fingers.]


Triceratops. [Note the large bony frill.]

Writing

Last night at Julian's preschool they did a treasure hunt. The kids had to find clues and write them in their notebooks.





Julian liked his notebook so much he wrote us another note this morning. Translation: I LUV MOM DAD JULIAN.

After all the present-opening, he put all the new toys to good use.
