Wordless Wednesday

After BA got out of bed this morning, I asked him, "BA, what woke you up last night?" He replied, "It wasn't a racoon."

The "B" game

Here is a copy of the "B" game for today. BA circled the letter when I wrote a group of three letters. After we were finished, I wrote his name for him. Of course, he circled the "B," and then he started trying to trace the other letters. The long lines are BA's version of a check mark. My son LOVES this game!

When BA was retelling the story of David and Goliath, he said Goliath said to David, "You come at me with a stick?...I'll tear you to pieces!"

Letter Recognition

Recently my son has started identifying letters . His main letter is "B," because that is what his name starts with. He looks for them all the time- in books, and signs, and anything else that has print on it. Here's two examples of what he is doing:

-Yesterday while sitting in the car at the bank, he pointed at the bank sign and said, "Look Mom, 'B' is for BA!"

-He also was sitting on our foam alphabet mat (we use it on our floor to cushion CJ's falls) and I told him that "C" is for CJ. He looked at me and said, "C is for K'ynzie (his friend) too." Though her name does start with a "K," it sure sounds like that ole' "C." Of course I didn't try to explain the difference to my two year old son...I just smiled and replied, "Really?!"

We're back!

After much unexpected time away from our blog, we're back! It seems like quite some time since I last wrote, so I have been having difficulty trying to decide what I should write about. We had a good time visiting with family and friends on our trip to FL. We were able to see almost all of our family...which is quite an accomplishment if you know how large our family is. Our van ride turned out excellent. I don't think it could have been much smoother. We praise God for that. The whole way back BA kept saying things like, "I want to go back to Grandma's house," or "I can almost see the driveway," or "I want to go back to FL." I was thankful when he fell asleep, because I was fearful that he may escalate and throw a fit for 15+ hours.

After getting back home, we had CJ's ears rechecked. It appears that the fluid has finally moved on out. So, to those who have been praying for him, thank-you!

Hopefully, now that we are well and somewhat back into normal routines, I will strive to keep you updated on our family. If I can figure out how to get some pictures uploaded from my camera that died while in FL, I'll try to share with you our birthday celebration for Jesus. I hope this holiday season was a great time of reflecting upon the birth of our Lord and what that means for us now.
