A boy, a girl and some pattern blocks
Ξ June 18th, 2009 | → 5 Comments | ∇ Homeschool Stuff, Kids |
Pattern blocks are one of those activities that really show the differences between my kids’ temperaments.
Luke quietly concentrates on putting each piece exactly in its space.
Chloe keeps up a running monologue about what she’s doing and makes up stories behind everything.
She calls this one “Four Fox Faces Kissing a Square.”
The biggest difference between the two is how they react when they finish.
Chloe basks in my approval…
Luke cheers for himself…
Then jumps up and down…
Then, inexplicably, roars like a lion.
Audrey, you’ll note, is not pictured. We had to put her down for her nap when we started because her favorite thing to do is knock everyone else’s patterns down.
And unfortunately, Chloe and Luke have the exact same reaction to that.
And it starts with screaming and ends with crying.

Our kiddos love pattern blocks too – I need to get them out more…but inevitably I find them everywhere when we are done. And stepping on one is not-so-fun!

Look at you – doing school so soon after a move. Awesome! The kissing foxes is adorable. And the random roaring is fun.
