ABC Learning

We made a monster out of an empty box. He is the ABC Monster. He likes to eat our ABC cards.

We also put stickers on an ABC tree.

Visiting the Temple

I got to see the temple. It was in Indiana. I walked inside of it! I had to wear little booties on my feet. I am squinting because the sun is in my eyes. It was a long drive to the temple.

I love to Dance! I want to take ballet!

I am signed up for a ballet dance class. I’m getting all ready for it by practicing my dancing.

Singing and Dancing

I love the primary songs!

I love to sing and dance everything!

Summer Field Trips to Utah, Pirate’s Cove and More!

We had so much fun the summer of 2015. First, we explored the Discovery Center Museum.

We got to visit Utah to see Grandma and Grandpa Reid.

I had picnics with friends.

I played games with my family. Here I am playing UNO, which helps me learn colors and numbers.

We went to Pirate’s Cove, which is a very fun amusement park. I lost my CTR ring, so I was very sad at first.

And we had picnics in our own backyard, too.

Painting with Mud

After reading I’m a Dirty Dinosaur, in which the artwork is created with real mud, we decided to make our own mud paintings!

Retelling the Farmyard Tales

I love to read the Farmyard Tales with the Boot Family. After we read the stories (and listened to the audio CD) and read them some more, Mom asked me if I wanted to make Apple Tree Farm. Mom simply drew a hillside and a pond on a piece of paper and I went to town adding the animals! Farmyard sticker stories was simple but plenty fun! We used farm animal stickers to retell our favorite farmyard stories. Mom bought a small bag of farm animals foam stickers at the Dollar Store during our excursion the other day. Then after my rudimentary drawing on the paper, I went to town adding the animals to the scene!

We had to add a fence for the sheep pen, a chicken coop, and a barn for the larger animals. After I played with the animals for a time, I asked where Ted (the farm helper) was, so we added him, as well as Mrs. Boot, Poppy, and Sam. Then, after we drew the old steam train, I wanted Mr. Boot in the picture too.

I had the animals talk to each other. Ted and the other stationary people joined conversations too. But then the best part of my play came in: I asked if we could put the fire in the picture so they could call the fire engine. You see, in one of the stories in the complete Farmyard Tales collection, the children and Ted smell smoke and see it coming from the hay barn. I won’t tell you have that particular story ends, but let’s just say I love that the family must call the fire engine. I had to go get my “fire engine,” which in this particular moment was the puzzle I enjoy doing.

I wanted to sleep with my picture under her pillow so the animals could hear the stories as I listened to them before bed!

All About Families

I like to talk about my family.

I love pretending to be Mommy to my dolly, Jenna.

I’m excited to learn that I’m going to have a baby sister in the fall! We got pink balloons because the baby is a girl. (May 2015)

Here I am in my new bedroom with my big brother. I helped put together the bunk bed. I get the bottom bunk. (May 2015)

Learning in the Spring

I love playing outside, so springtime is a lot of fun.

I learned about wind power when I got a cool wind mill toy from Daddy.

I practiced balancing too.

Counting from 1 to 5

Each tube had some puff balls that fit in it. The short blue one had one ball. The next one had two, the next 3, etc. to 5. I practice matching the color of puff ball to the correct tube. And counting how many puff balls went in each tube!
