Holiday contest results

Ok, I have to apologize. This was an unfair contest. No one polite would have actually said the answer. But I liked Shelane's guess the most...


"This is from Shelane.....they are both feasts for the eyes!"

So, Shelane, as soon as I get the vinyl cut, I will mail it to you. Good job at being so creative!

Now for the REAL answer...

What do

 and  

have in common?

They both make my waistline expand.

 

 

Daddy's little cookie monster

She said she was getting cookies for her brothers

Snakes

Her hair is finally long enough, so I bought some rubberbands. When I finished her hair all she could say was "snakes" and kept pointing to her hair and smiling. Don't they look like snakes to you? She is such a little princess!

The letter A

E was learning about the letter A in home school today. He's been having trouble with letters and sounds, so we started something different today. At the end of the day, he got to cut out pictures that start with the short a sound and glue them to a letter A. After he was finished, I asked him what words start with the /a/ sound. He told me, "apple, ant, ack, ass..." I tried to conceal my laughter but couldn't for long. He had no idea what he said, he was just making up "nonsense" words. We had talked about grass earlier and I told him it had the /a/ sound in the middle of the word, so he probably got it from that. Anyway, I stopped laughing and had him go on and he continued with several other /a/ words. He has never been able to produce words to go with a sound/letter before, so this is a huge improvement!

Here is a pic of his silliness:

And here is one where I made him show his face:

I can't believe my little baby can ride a bike! She got on E's bike a couple weeks ago and tried it out. She does a pretty good job for being barely 2yo! Can't you tell how proud she is of herself?
