After practicing with the "-at" word family on the Easter egg for a few days, I tried a new reading activity with Sophie using six of her now familiar words as sight words. On two separate pieces of paper I scattered each of the words all around the page (three different words per page) and gave her three different colored dot markers each time. She stamped all of the words that spelled "cat" in blue, "sat" in a different color of her choice and "bat" in yet another color. She loved this and it was more great practice.
Will spent just about every afternoon climbing the door frame - his new favorite skill. LOL
Both kids wanted to work on some dot stamper pages on another day and worked hard to create about four or five masterpieces each.
We had swim lessons tonight at my mom and dad's. The previous location for our swim lessons was no longer allowing open swim to the public and our private instructor agreed to come out to my parent's pool to finish up our remaining three lessons. The lessons also got moved to Thursday, which was fine. So tonight, we finished up the lesson and stayed awhile after to swim with papa. Craig was doing our usual grocery shopping trip and my mom and brother are in Honduras on a mission trip for the whole week. So it was nice to spend some extra time with papa. During the lesson, we found a frog floating in the pool filter and I had to scoop him out with my bare hand! I put him in the grass and we thought he was dead, but slowly he seemed to regroup and start to move a little bit. The kids took turns holding him and Sophie pretended to kiss her Prince Charming. :)
