We've been reading yet another version of the Gingerbread Man story, one that includes a recipe on the back cover. So, of course, we made Gingerbread men, worms, puppies, suns. We even made colored sugar glazes for decoration. They turned out pretty well, looks wise, and they taste very good. The molasses flavor wasn't so strong in this recipe, or perhaps I just bought a better brand of molasses. At any rate, I ate two to many tonight.
She is still burning up Phonics Pathways. I can't believe she is reading after so few lessons, but WTM was right, as usual. The only trouble I'm having is finding appropriate readers at the library. Most of the level 1s are still beyond her capability; they include too many sight words. Most other readers are whole word readers; the plot is too easily guessed through the pictures. I'm planning to order the two Bob Books series that we don't have and they may bridge the gap between early readers and level 1 readers. We'll see.
She was attempting a craft today: making medals for her friends. I traced the ribbons for her, but did not cut them out, as I thought she would like to do that. She can wield a pair of scissors like nobody's business. At any rate, she ended up cutting unevenly and had an epic meltdown, which culminated in this woeful statement: "I'm just at my regular home. I miss Disney. It's not fun at regular home." Replete with tears, I might add. I sent her to her room to finish crying and she ended up playing by herself for a good long time. Lucky me.
