Day 16

ABC's of Reading

He is pretty insistent on learning to read this book. Not just memorize, actually read it. He has it memorized, but he will only say out loud the parts he can actually read (he whispers the other parts to himself). He's been carrying it EVERYWHERE with him this past week studying it constantly. So far he has "big", "little", "hooray", "what begins with", and all the letters. I figured out this is what he knows because of how meticulous he is about ONLY pointing to the words and letters he is saying. If he goes to fast and says past his finger he makes himself back up and redo each. word. separately. as he reads and points. He'll be 3 next month. ^_^ <-- proud face

I'm so glad my kids like to take the initiative on their learning. I wouldn't even know where to begin on teaching a 2 year old to read...

Grown Up Dressing Up

She came downstairs this day all decked out in this dress, headband, necklace, and her new pink plaid rain-boots. I was very impressed because even though I never would have put any of them together, they all matched in a super cute way. I didn't feature the whole outfit in my picture of the day because I just thought the face she was making here was so atypical of her personality it was cute. She had a lot of cute poses to choose from though.

Running out of ideas of things to take pictures of on cold wet days, I took a picture of my candelabra.
