The fun never ends

Every week on Tuesdays is toddler reading time at the library and we have a lot of fun going to read, sing songs, and color pictures.




This is Lisa's friend, Kyle bond, who makes the funniest faces when you ask him to smile for a picture.








Scissors, crayons, and glue.
It doesn't get much better than that.


Glue takes a lot of concentration.

ABCs! (sort of)

Lisa surprised me recently by singing bits and pieces of the ABC song. So...she skips letter "d" through "h", but I'm pretty impressed. I'm always amazed at how much she is really absorbing without me realizing it. She loves reading books these days, something I had wondered if she'd ever have the attention span for. We read about 20 minutes before nap and before bed and any other time she feels like it during the day. I love looking over and seeing her just reading her books. Some of her favorites are, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," "Red Fish, Blue Fish," "Hop on Pop," and "Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom" (or as she says, Chicken boom boom).

Lisa's Singing Medley

This is Lisa all day long. Singing, singing, and more singing. She will tell us, "Mommy, daddy sit down! Sing songs!" And then she performs. Sometimes we'll catch snippets of songs like, "twinkle, twinkle" or "pat-a-cake, baker's man" or "c cookie" but often it's just that serious face, hand motions, full body bends and nonsense words. We love it.
