the other day i showed kay step-by-step how to cook noodles. she diligently learned and imitated. 

the following day i asked her to explain to me exactly what we'd done.  it took 3 sittings over 3 nites, as she said it needed "a lot of thinking!"   i wrote down her instructions as told, and she drew some pictures alongside.

we are now in the process of making them up into a little book. (having been inspired by a book her big brother had made in school. :)) 

so this is what she came up with...
