Orange Leaf

With some time to spend between Aaron's 1:00 pick-up time and Nora's 3:00 time, Aaron and I tried out Orange Leaf, one of the talked-about frozen yogurt stores.  It's the kind where you put one or more kinds of yogurt in your cup and one or more toppings and the whole thing is weighed.  I didn't offer Aaron the multiple kinds of goodness, just gave him a choice of one yogurt and one topping.  I'll offer him two of each next time, when we bring Nora.

The nice person in charge gave him four tiny paper cups so he could sample various flavors.  And just maybe he talked her out of one more.  He loved trying out different flavors but equally loved pulling the handles to dispense yogurt.  That boy loves machines of every kind.

I hadn't had any frozen yogurt in years and this was really delicious.  I had pumpkin pie with almonds.  Aaron had strawberry with M & M's.

A really nice bonus - there is a tee shirt store close by with a big van with the name, Big Frog, on the side.  Nice reading lesson material.  It makes my heart happy to see that Aaron is able to sound out simple words now.  I tried some sight words in the summer and he just wasn't interested.  I'd write "cat, for example," and he'd say "elephant."  His new preschool with their sound boxes is amazing.
