So off we went to the Hughes house at 9:15 for school at 9:30. Liz takes Austin for 1 1/2 hours and I take Alison, their daughter while she has the boys.
Today they learned about cows and what a baby cow is called. When I asked him at home to tell Papa what baby cows are, his answer was "Well, they are cow kids!" So does that make them goats and not cows? When I reminded him that a baby cow is a calf, he said, "Oh yeah, I remember--they are what Nana said!"
They learned the Nursery Rhyme "Hey Diddle, Diddle" and have a poem called "Little Calf".
"Good morning, little calf," gentle mother cow said,
"It's time to get up from your sweet hay filled bed."
Little calf jumped, stamped his feet, swished his tail,
And followed him mother past a shiny milk pail.
Out in the barnyard, holding his head high,
Little calf looked up to the blue, blue sky,
Birds flying past chirped a joyful song,
Little calf smiled, and felt happy all day long.
One thing he said was that he didn't want to go back--probably because Liz doesn't let him play on the computer. Later he admitted to Keith that he really did like it and that he wanted to go back. Thursday won't be here soon enough!

They were super cute today! I hope he wants to keep coming back. I feel the pressure to keep him entertained! ;)
