Jane was using pattern blocks one day, and called me over to see what she made.
A few minutes later, she called me again. "Mama, I made ME!"
The car was covered with condensation one morning before school. The kids were miraculously ready early, so I let them wipe the windows.
This puzzle of the United States has been sitting out on our floor for a couple months, and all the kids have done it a few times. Even Jane can put all the pieces in within about 5 minutes...she's our Puzzle Girl now!
Jane somehow got interested in counting all the way to 100, so we stopped at the library after school to get her some books about it. That fed her interest, but she was always asking for help when she got to 29, 39, 49...what comes next? So we made her a chart, and she could look for herself. She figured it out pretty quickly, thank goodness. I'm talking about EVERY TIME she was in the car with me, she'd start counting, and needing help. Now, however, she is doing it in Spanish. And there's no way I'm making a Spanish counting chart...she can't even read yet. But she can go up to 100 (cien) with help.
I forget why we were so tired, but I know we stayed up really late one night and then had to wake everyone up to go to church. The girls crashed with Brendan in the afternoon.
Gene almost fell asleep, but then for some reason Brendan turned on a football game to fall asleep to...but Gene's eyes stayed open from that point on.
Jane figured out the entire ABC puzzle, which stretched across the dining room floor.
The girls built a barn stall for their animals.
Lucy arranged all the different-diameter pony-tail holders in concentric circles.
And Jane...she's into headbands these days:)
