Thursday

Again, I missed a few days of blogging, but we are still going strong with school. Singing songs, saying nursery rhymes, pretending, playing outside, counting, reading...
Tuesday we played outside for a while after therapy. I remembered an activity I had read in a book so I ran inside for paper and glue. Each of the girls got a piece of paper and we explored the yard for neat things to glue on it. Grass, clovers, leaves of all sizes, sticks, seeds, dirt, etc. The girls had a lot of fun searching for things and gluing them on the paper.
I have learned that the end result isn't really what matters, it is the process and experience of doing it. Regardless, the girls were very proud and here is the final result. We hung them in the kitchen after they dried.

They have both had therapy all week and we've also spent time playing outside in the yard. The favorite right now is giving the dogs treats through the fence when we get home.
Wednesday they both got their hair cut. Emma was a very big girl and volunteered to go first. Alex patiently let her. After big girl hair cuts and suckers for a reward I let Emma pay Kendra and both girls told her thank you for the hair cut.
This afternoon after therapy we came inside for another project. I let them each choose whether they wanted a picture of a dog or a cat. They both chose cat. I drew them a cat and then we cut up a bunch of black and yellow yarn. They used paint brushes to put glue on their picture and stick yarn all over to make their kitty cat furry. Again, they were very proud.
