Week 18

Our Focus:

I thought Q would be a hard one, but it went surprisingly smooth! She loves writing the letter, "an O with a tail." For the first time she wrote some on her own, after practicing on her tracer pages, normally I only have her do two of each letter on her own and let her trace the rest. She was making Q's all over the place! Her writing is becoming very smooth and fluid and she's writing her name on her own (although the S is still backward with an extra bump).

Our alphabet project this week was a felt Quilt glued to paper. I just wish I had more colorful felt on hand...

Week 17

Our Focus:

This week big brother, Liam, helped out with Aislinn's preschool. He sat with her and helped her out with this week's worksheets. It was really too sweet, and he was a great teacher. That is until he got bored. Aislinn has a LONG attention span and outlasted Liam so Mommy had to take over for the last few pages.

This is one of my favorite projects, he's so cute! And notice his feet. I thought they should be orange, she thought they should be yellow, so she did one of each!

Week 16

We talked about all of the different creatures that live in the ocean this week. She surprised me with all the animals that she came up with. Perhaps she's been watching a little too much Spongebob.... When she worked on her octopus project she asked me what color octopus are. Hard question to answer! She ended up giving each leg a different color, too cute!

Feeling better

Aislinn's chinny, chin, chin is feeling much better! Here's a shot after she was able to stop wearing the bandages. And now it's nothing but a little pink scar. Thank goodness it healed well!

Boo-boo chin

I have such a brave little girl. The poor thing was running around in my bedroom when she fell down and smashed her chin open on the hard floor. It happened right as I was getting ready to start our bedtime routine. So instead of getting into jammies and brushing teeth we were applying pressure and assessing the damage. It wasn't a deep cut but it needed to be held closed while it heals so I send Daddy to the store for some butterfly bandages. He got there right as they were locking the door. Thank goodness the person on the other side was nice and let hubby in anyway to buy the bandages. I got her cleaned up, patched up and a few minutes later she fell asleep in my lap. She did such a good job and sat still while I fixed her up. She can't stand bandaids so she is not at all thrilled with her new chin adornment.Here's the sleeping princess all snug in her bed after the ordeal. (Yes, she wrote her name on the headboard a few months back, I really should scub that off...)

This morning after a bandage change. She wasn't trilled....

Week 15

Our Focus:It took a few weeks to finish this week's work. We've been busy with all kinds of things, birthdays, spring cleaning, helping Grandpa B clean out his basement, etc. We finally finished and had a good time :) For our alphabet art project this week we made a paper man, to tie into our letter of the week we used a NUT for his NOSE! I think he turned out rather cute...
