Here’s the weekly Pre-School update for those who wish to remain informed! (Due to illness I have gotten a bit behind in reporting, so I need to catch you all up.)

• We created a list of “Bb” words, including baby, bumblebee, ball, beetle,...
• Liam counted to ten with (teddy) bear grahams for snack
• Liam helped Momma make banana bread—really enjoyed mashing the bananas and putting
in the flour, but it was hard to squeeze in time to cook. As Liam put it, “I’m busy
Momma. I’m makin’ tracks to great destinations with Thomas!” (Yes, that is an
exact quote—the vocabulary he learns from the Thomas and Friends shows!)
• We read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?," the Bear books by Frank Asch,
and "Billy’s Beetle."
• Liam learned some rhymes about bumblebees and babies.
• Liam finished learning the fourth catechism question and began Scripture Memory
using some fun DVD’s and CD’s.

We took two weeks to complete the letter B because of getting sick and then being so busy getting everything ready to celebrate Daddy’s BIRTHDAY last weekend! We had Birthday Brownies! Now has begun the rainy season here, so we cannot go outside as often to play, which allows for more fun learning inside.

In other news, Aine officially began walking two weeks ago! She still crawls on occasion, but if she stumbles now she most often stands back up and gets going again. While she undoubtedly enjoys her new-found freedom in walking, the biggest thrill seems to be a greater ability to dance when she hears music! :) She is also expanding her vocabulary, now saying more two-word phrases, such as, "Aine's turn," "Lay down," and "Get down!" She is also saying "EEeeeee!" (when she is looking for Liam,) "Wheeee" (when she swings or slides on the playground,) and "Ummy" (as in yummy.) Aine LOVES getting in school time with Liam.

Tune in later for our account of the letter C! :)
