We had a great weekend spending time with family. Bub Shawn came over and stayed with us which is always a blast! We miss him the minute he walks out the door and count the seconds until we see him again! We went skating on Saturday and had so much fun! Gab went with us and brought Desi. We also had Bub, and Pop met us as well. It was awesome and I love laughing with everyone. You know we rocked it to Thriller! :) BabyGirl had a great day with Daddyo on Sunday helping him with all kinds of projects, and going to get stuff from Atwoods. Always fun!
Today started out a little clustered with some stupid bill issues making my head spin! I tried focusing on what I needed to do, but after I did my morning exercise routine everything fell into place. I could think so much more clearly, and we were off! BabyGirl loves working out with me and it is sooooo cute! She uses little board books as her weights!
So, we did ladybugs today. We learned all kinds of interesting facts about them, and made some to go with our insect decor. They are adorable with our butterflies, caterpillars and big spiders! We traced and practiced writing our numbers, and did some ladybug dot to dots. We discussed carnivore and herbivore, putting what insects we've studied in their group. We identified what insects belong in what environment, also using ones we've covered. We've got just a couple more things to cover in this unit and then we'll move on to the next. (which is still to be determined) We have some great books about ants and bees on hold at the library, then we'll wrap this up!
In phonics today we worked with x. We did a great activity where I placed letter x's on the floor that BabyGirl followed. Each time she picked on up, she had to make the x sound and then go to the next one. At the end of the trail she came to a little buried treasure box that I filled with a piece of gum for her to have. It was so much fun! Then we introduced our next phonics reader dealing with x. She is doing so great, and already knows so many sight words I can't believe it! Our list of words she can read is just huge and growing like crazy! It's so great! We also, of course, practiced writing. She loves to write, too.
Later we head out to gymnastics, and then another great day is on the horizon for tomorrow.

Thanks so much for the encouragement on my blog ... it really is nice to get feedback from like-minded people and realize they really are out there! When I read your blogs, I relish the memory of the days they remind me of ... when Ace was my only one full-time, at BabyGirl's very same age. I absolutely love that you enjoy her to the fullest .. that comes across loud and clear! She is a very lucky girl to have such a smart and devoted mama!
