Mia breastfeeding already!

So Mia decided she was going to breasfeed (BF) a doll at a playgroup yesterday. Well, she tried to get me to BF it first. Brought it over and held it up to me saying "Nummas!" I thought she wanted to nurse, so I started to pick her up and she said, "No. Baby nummas." I said, "No honey, Mama's nummas are just for you." She thought about that for a second and then unzipped her sweatshirt while saying, "My nummas!" She pulled up her t-shirt and "latched" the doll on with the BIGGEST grin on her face. I was so proud!!

The boys are doing really well with the homeschooling. Dominic has discovered "color by number" activities and is fascinated. He also really likes the "letter chips" we use to practice spelling. I bought some cheap poker chips and wrote letters on them. I made capital letters on the white ones, and lowercase letters on the blue. I thought about doing vowels on red, but then couldn't decide what to do with the "y"...sometimes a vowel, sometimes not...?

I found that Zack was horrifically bored with the first phonics program we were using. We switched to the Kumon series, and he is much more interested and engaged with it.

Everyone is healthy with the exception of the usual sniffles for this time of year, let's hope it stays that way!

Kids...

I love it when Mia picks her clothes. Today she is in a bright pink sweatshirt with a dog on it, a light pink flowered skirt, and rainbow striped leggings.

The things kids do...

so Dom just comes in from outside and says "Mom, I peed in the tree!" OK...he was playing and didn't feel like coming in. The really funny part is I look outside and there is Mia with her panties down and skirt up trying to do the same thing...good thing our backyard is privacy fenced.
