Conversations with a three year old

In the wee hours of the morning she came crawling into bed and cuddled up to me. After a little while I hear her little sleepy voice...

"Daddy.... please stop doing that noisy thing. I am trying to sleep. And you are going to wake up my sister. Daddy... Daddy, are you listening to me?"

Meanwhile poor Daddy is snoring on.... and I'm trying really hard not to laugh out loud and wake him up....



Lying in bed with her a few nights ago after tucking her in, she got off on one of her little analytical monologues...

"You want to know why I'm snuggling down in my bed? It's so I won't be cold. Because if I was too cold, then I'd be like an icicle. And we don't want that. People don't like to eat icicles. And people don't want to eat me if I'm an icicle. So that's why I don't want to be too cold."

Me: blink. yeah.



Last night, explaining something to be about her video game playing on jumpstart.com:

"I don't like going into Ghost Town Grab, because it's not friendly. I like to go to Hidden Treasure Hollow. I figured I didn't like Ghost Town Grab, so I preferred to go to Hidden Treasure Hollow."

I swear this kid is a sponge for big words. LOL

These days A is somewhat hooked on work sheets... and C on teaching her... good combo.  ;)


Today's copywork


Printing numbers to 39


A bit of calculating


And her dreaded "reading comprehension" exercises... traumatic, even. LOL

Merry Christmas :)

There hasn't been a lot to say lately... what more is there than, "It's great to have hubby home!!" :)

This Christmas was great, but it was made even more great by this clip:



More than one of our friends was stranded by bad weather in Europe and not sure they'd be home for Christmas - but just in the nick of time, they made it through!!!

Math sheets. We're doing three pages a day now, a lesson and a half, because she's getting pretty bored with the book but Mommy has a need for completion...


Today's copywork exercise:


This week our body has acquired reproductive organs (that lesson didn't get very far, once she saw the word "eggs" she pretty much cracked up) and skeletal structure (which she was much more interested in).

A storybook by Miss C about a girl who loves to dance with a rainbow, and drive a car.





(this is her after her dance holding a flower and a book)


(and driving a car.)





A couple of math pages from today, a quick refresher in tally marks and graphing, nothing too strenuous...

Kidneys

Moving on in our "My Body" study, to the kidneys and bladder. Very exciting stuff, learning about pee and so on.
