Letters and Writing

Georgia has been learning cursive writing. She is doing really well.

Olivia has been working in her alphabet book, practicing writing her letters and recognizing beginning sounds and the letters they start with.

Olivia has also been practicing counting past fifteen. She usually goes from thirteen to eighteen, then in the mid 20s ends up in the 70s somehow.

Forgot to mention when we were entering the playground last time we were at the park Olivia says, "No Dogs Allowed, I guess dogs can't come in here." I looked around and sure enough, there was a sign that said, "No Dogs Allowed." I love those moments. My heart just melts!! It's so exciting!!

She's also noticed the outline of our state on street signs when we are in the car. She points and says, "Hey, that sign has Ohio on it." Love it!

Tonight the girls have gymnastics. Olivia doesn't like her new coach as much as the first one she had. Sometimes she says she doesn't want to go if its going to be the same teacher. Her new teacher is nice, but her first one was really great with the little kids group. And they played fun games that the new teacher doesn't do, like "Scrambled Eggs." Two more classes until the end of this session. I'm not sure if Olivia will want to take gymnastics again next session. She says she doesn't and likes practicing at home, but I'm sure she'll miss it. But, it's her choice. We'll see....
