Claymation

Connor is quite creative and he absolutely loves clay.

This is Jafar (the villan from Alladin). He also made a genie in a bottle and Iago (the parrot), which are not pictured.
Connor also loves to act out what he sees in movies or reads in books. He assigned Ammon to be Jafar, me to be the Princess Jasmine and he was the Genie. We had to act out a few "scenes" as he remembered them (not necessarily how they actually happened- he's so funny).

Connor can nearly tell time!

The other day he made this clock out of clay. Ammon and I were really impressed.

A few days later he looked at the clock in our kitchen and said it was "9:30" (not a digital clock). I asked him how he knew and he told me the little hand was on the 9 and the big hand was on the 6. I was aghast. I mean, we've not worked with him on this. The only thing I can think of that we've done is read him a book called "Time to..." that shows what a little boy does at different times of the day. Come to think of it, that book doesn't deal with quarter- or half-hour increments so I really don't know where he figured it out. He's just a smartie I guess.
