This girl is so creative. She turned the garbage can into her own little desk one morning. We'd worked on a shape book the day before, and when I went downstairs the next day, she had pushed the stool over to the garbage can so she could draw some more in her book.
Her shape book is one of my favorite things we've done recently. Adam, Maryanne and I sat down at the kitchen table with a big stack of construction paper and started to create. I folded Maryanne's white paper in such a way that it actually turns pages like a book. Then, I decided to put a different colored shape on each page. Adam helped me to remember all of the shapes. And, M glued them down on the pages. Then, I followed through writing the word of the shape in a matching color, and numbered and lettered the shapes. Meanwhile, Adam made his own little book. It was a fun day. I need to write more about the fun learning things we do to keep me motivated to teach and spend time with my children ... something I struggle with every single. day. (Sorry for that last tangential statement.)

Second, how stinking rotten cute is your little M? I love it! Graham is much the same way when I do things with Hayden. We've been posting letters around the house to try and get Hayden to do his ABC's and I've found that Graham wants to participate just as much as Hayden. I love their enthusiasm to learn. It really is the best part about being a Mom.
