Letter J

Remember Caleb’s imagination? Ever since attending the Pied Piper Woodwind concert (put on by our local symphony), the vacuum extension tubes have turned into a bassoon, and the hammer has turned into a flute.

On another note, Sophia decided she wanted her cheeks to match.

And now on to our letter of the week activities:

201103 March 166Attribute of God: Just (Deuteronomy 32:4, 1 John 1:9)

Bible Story:  Jesus
I’ll admit I was rather lazy this week.  We read a few stories from Caleb’s story Bible and reviewed Joshua and Jericho just for kicks.  I was curious what Caleb thinks of when he hears “Jesus,” so I asked.  Caleb said, “Amen.” 

Song: I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy…; Joy to the World (nothing like Christmas in March)

Common vocabulary: jazz, jump, jet, Jello, jam, jellyfish, jelly beans, joy

Craft: Read books about jellyfish and then make one (Those are fish getting eaten by the jellyfish, by the way.)201103 March 258

Treat: Jelly Bellies (Caleb sorted and counted them before enjoying them.  Actually he’s been enjoying them for dessert all week.  It’s been a great motivator to finish his food. He’s also noticed the words on each jelly bean, except he shouts “Jingle Bells” instead of “Jelly Belly.” )  201103 March 171

Give: Take a meal to baby James and his family (Caleb helped make the brownies and carry the gift.) If our friends keep up this trend of naming babies to match with our letter of the week activities, I won’t have to

People we know: Uncle Jon, Joel, Aunt Jenn, Uncle Jason, Joey, James

I like the letter 'J'. It is fun being Aunt Jenn :-)

Caleb looks so happy in that top picture, his big grin makes me happy too.

Sorry to hear that Sophia's cheeks match now though.
