I may like this birthday present better than my kids do, which is staying a lot. You’ll notice they kidnapped several pieces while I took pictures.
Luke’s mom makes these books with her high school classes, and she was kind enough to make one for us. Thanks!
On your third birthday, three things I like about you…
Each week that Caleb and I have done alphabet activities, we create a letter page early in the week. I mostly use it as a brainstorming tool. At first I did most of the brainstorming, but now Caleb is coming up with words to add. I write the words we come up with and then draw a simple picture (I’m no artist.) so that Caleb can “read” the words himself. Depending on the week and on his interest level, we may have a lot of words or just a few. The pages usually end up with scribbles, and I remind the teacher in me that the scribbling is a mark of interest and attention more than destruction.
For a time, the hat kept the hair out of her eyes, but now that it’s over 70 most days, it’s not really an option.
So the great hair debate begins…
Barrette?
Au natural?
Pebbles’ Ponytail?
I suppose there’s always this option…
Any votes?
