I haven't been blogging much lately, as we've not had much new and/or exciting news. We're still plugging away on our vowels, but we'll finish up next week and then begin the "real" work of reading. DD tries so hard to read the words on the pages of her books; it frustrates her at times, but I think slow and steady is the way to go. I just hope she'll still let me read to her even after she learns how.
Today she drew a picture and told me "it's what inside your hand that makes it move." Then she drew another picture of her skeleton. She asked if we had some big paper so that we could trace her whole body. Naturally, we went out and bought some STAT! We had to get materials for our Ariel costume (please keep fingers and toes crossed) anyway, so we just put big paper on the list.
We also stopped by the library to rock the vote and pick up a book about the human body so that we can draw all of the inside stuff that makes you fill-in-the-blank. It should be interesting.
Re: Ariel, we found sequins (aka scales), rope, crepe paper and a glue gun, but no inexpensive shells. We'll have to find some of those tomorrow. If I were McGyver, I could pull all of this together with a paper clip, but I fear I will be out at midnight on Oct 30, scouring the city for an Ariel costume.
