So I've been spending a lot of one-on-one time with Emilie in the afternoons while Eliz is napping, teaching her the phonetic alphabet (A says "ah", B says "buh"). She needs to know this in order to read and she's been so interested in learning how to read. We're also working on her numbers, counting from 11-20 (she misses 15 and 11 apparently comes after 16!), and also practicing her writing skills.
Emilie LOVES to draw!! She is an amazing artist - like both her grandmothers, who both painted in their youth! She is so amazingly creative and draws everything from angels to buses and submarines. She even drew a mommy holding a baby inside her belly! What amazes me is that every day she will think of something NEW to draw. I for one, know that I am NOT that creative! :) I will have to post pictures of the drawings soon. For now, I am really enjoying watching her love to LEARN - and it gives me such pleasure to be a small part of that.
