Reading & Drawing

  
We spent most of January down with the flu, croup, colds & the stomach bug, so there haven't been many adventures to report.  A few days ago, Emily made her first drawing that wasn't scribbles, with only a little help.  (It's a person laying down in a bed with "night night animals"... with some scribbles above.)  She also has really taken to the idea of learning to read, so we've been talking about letter sounds and sounding out words.  She has a friend who can already read and she was just amazed to see a kid about her age reading.  She's been pretending to read her books out loud.


Adara is talking more by the day, she has dozens of words and some basic two-word sentences.  I love it!  She also continues to be into everything, and happiest when free to roam.  (Result - her first big head bonk from pulling a stack of chairs down on her head at "Romp & Stomp")


Unrelated: I've updated our video page (link to the right) with lots of little video clips from the past couple years.  (Thank you smartphones.)
