Aiden loves creating books. The other day he made this book titled, "Aiden's Book" and each page had a letter from his name and a corresponding picture. He looked through magazines, found a picture to match the letter, cut it out, and then pasted them in. Today's book was titled, "How do you make a mall?" He drew pictures of the various stages and then I wrote the words. It has been great for getting him to practice his cutting and writing skills.
Mikayla has been having so much fun exploring, pulling up and mastering stair climbing. It is such a fun stage although I can't turn my back for a second for fear of small lego pieces lurking about.
I love seeing Caileigh explore her "girl" side. For so long her world has been about trucks and wrestling. Caileigh loves to play nurturing games about being a mom or a Dr. She is also in the stage of play where she directs you to say or do certain things. When she dances around the house she might direct you to say, "Wow, that girl sure can dance!" She likes to hear affirming statements like this over, and over, and over......
Last night we had a Registration Fair and some of the girls danced. Caileigh spent nearly an hour running around and dancing with the girls in a large open room beside the registration area. When it came time for the girls to perform, you could tell that she so desperately wanted to be up there but just wasn't quite ready. She was so excited to have had the time to dance with the girls though and in her mind, she danced in public!
I was going to say that Aiden is ready for Kindergarten, but it's more like Grade ONE! You do such a good job at teaching your kids.
