Updates for the baby and the big kids
It's been a big month for Savvy... In the last 30 days she's got her first three teeth in, had her first table food, started clapping her hands, rolled over, had her first icecream and heard "no" for the first time.
Not to mention she spent one week quite sick with a fever, cough, congestion and runny nose.
We had a little more "no" training today and she did beautifully. :) I'm so proud of her.
Big Kids
I am doing "Teaching Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" with Mary and Nathan. We're on Lesson 12 and Mary is already reading a few words- mat, sat, rat, me, am, ram, eat. WOOHOO! Nathan is still a bit young for this- only 3 years and four months. He knows all the sounds and is following along but I may have to go back through it with him next year. We will see how he does. But wow, Mary is doing great!
There may or may not have been an incident today involving chocolate syrup stolen from the fridge, hauled out onto the deck, hands, faces, clothes, sandals, chocolate-syrup handprints on the windows, chocolate syrup swirls on the decking. When I discovered the mess (I was clued in by some hysterical laughing- not usually a good sign with preschoolers), I told them I would have to discipline them for stealing the chocolate syrup out of the fridge. Mary then asked me, "are you going to take our picture first?". I'm guessing she asked the question because of incidences like THIS ONE or maybe THIS ONE in which I did take pictures first. I suppose I'll have to cut back on that. Also, the snatching of food has become a problem that we are going to have to start correcting for. Funny but not so funny, kwim?
