Cecily launched herself into the realm of og, ug, ag in, un, an, and FROG, TREE, FREE, and other 4 letter words today. And to think, just yesterday I was commenting on a current assessment that she hadn’t yet developed a comprehension that spanned greater than 3 letters. WELL…….. THAT was yesterday. We used the […]

Friction, Fly Eyeballs, and Staring Contests
Today Lily learned that flies don’t have teeth. She also learned they spit on solid food to make it turn into a liquid, because their tongues are like straws. Flies don’t have stingers either, but Hobo Spiders bite. She was a Pest Investigator (see website – http://www.pestworldforkids.org/index.html ) We played all the games, which gave […]
A & T, Last Tuesday
On May 17, Cecily’s ability to read and build words solidified. While she is still developing an awareness and knowledge base of many of the letter combinations (since English is so straight forward, after all), she is demonstrating a reliable and solid comprehension of the concept of word construction, sound, parts of a word (at […]
Profoundly Profound
Yep. And translucent essences too… We are in Denver, staying at an extended stay hotel while Russ works in Castle Rock this week and next. We have a 650sq ft 1 bedroom apartment, in which we are maintaining a dog, turtle, two adults, two violins, a guitar (mini size), three, no four computers, Rover, a […]
Reptilian, Smelly and Slimey
Waitress Read Bracelet (make me more) What sort of lights are those? Abstract some? What does _________________ mean? …. A fav new game. What we did on Thursday.
Great, Great Grandma Forbes Wears Again!
Grandma & Grandpa (Russ’s side) gave Lily a sweater this Christmas that came from deep within the family. Mary Forbes made Russ a sweater many years ago and now, Bugz is wearing it. She is aware that Papa’s great grandma made it for him, and her rationalization was, “So, it’s really old”. She comprehends the […]
Planetarium, Parks, and Boxes
Lily, Russ and I are going to Lily’s first ever trip to a planetarium Friday. The last time Russ and I went to one was a few months before I got pregnant. I think she will be in heaven (we’ve waited this long so that there wouldn’t be any fear of the dark/big). She and […]

Asserting & Developing
Lily loves Madeline (the movie with real people – she hasn’t seen the cartoons yet and probably won’t like them as much if she does). I put on Eloise after Madeline today as I thought she’d like that too (sleepy bug, moping around, heh – movie afternoon). She insisted she didn’t like it (though never […]
