Color blind?

I was reading my Parenting magazine last night and came across an article on color blindness. Chad has some issues with certain colors as do his brothers - I think. So I was curious what Andrew would say about a color blind test image similar to this one. He passed without any problem, seeing a red square and a yellow circle in the image I showed him. Then he said "Do you have anything else for me?"

He was really excited about these images. Which made me feel like I don't do enough educational things with him. I should probably start working with him more. With perhaps his numbers or the writing the alphabet....this is where a teaching background would have been nice. I just don't know what kinds of things to do with him.

He will be going to preschool this fall, in less than a month, his first day is Sept. 2nd. I have really mixed feelings about his. I'm really looking forward to having some one-on-one time with Carson, or just running errands with only one child. Andrew is almost always with either Chad or I, especially over the last year that I have been home full time. It seems odd to me to just go drop him off somewhere, with people I don't know and just, leave. I won't be there to make sure he acts appropriately and that he is playing with children that are nice to him. Aahh, letting go....

Andrew is really excited about going to preschool. We dropped in last week to turn in some paperwork and he has an open house the end of this month. He will ask "Am I big enough to go to preschool now?" "When can I go to preschool?" He will be going in the afternoon, which I requested when I filled out paperwork this winter/spring. I chose afternoon because Carson often sleep in a little bit and I didn't want to get him up before he was ready. I enjoy carefree mornings here with the boys. Andrew doesn't usually take a nap and sometimes the afternoons get a little long for us....But now I wish he was going in the morning. After his experience with Vacation Bible School, which was great, but the added structured time for him really wore him out! He doesn't typically take a nap but I think if he went to preschool in the morning, he probably would be tired enough to take a nap. For now we will enjoy this wonderful summer weather we are having and the carefree days of summer.
