Lilacs, nursery rhymes + phonics
- These bushes have always been in our yard, but I think this is the first year they have flowered...and lilacs, I love lilacs so much...the smell is something I remember so well from my own childhood...
- Kids reading nursery rhymes to each other and then acting them out...
- Zo picking up a phonics workbook this evening and working through some pages, totally unprompted. And yesterday getting out the letter flashcards and playing with them and their sounds. I really want to do some reading work with her this summer but want her to want to do whatever we're doing, not fight me...and I'm listening to Zo and Luke together as I type this and they're supposed to be sleeping but they're doing phonics work with each other, eg, "Say 'Stop.'" "Stop." "Now say it without the 'S.'" "Top."
- Permit for moving the dog to Hawaii is back in the mail to me...
- Made time for a workout today...
- Things are feeling quite a bit less chaotic than they have been the past few weeks...grateful for that...
Happy Tuesday!
XO
