The Mermaid is doing so incredibly well with schooling. She now participates in almost everything at her homeschooling group, and I am so glad I hung in there and did not quit the group when we were experiencing week after week of her running around and not participating.
Lately we've been learning about the moon, about ducks, and about the weather.
The Mermaid is LOVES rainbows and gets so excited
when she sees one!
She made a rain gauge in her homeschooling group
and loves to see how much rainfall we get.
The Mermaid also LOVES doing puzzles. She is up to a 24 piece puzzle but it bores her and she finishes it within five minutes.
What really amazes me is that she can write her own name now, without help. The other day I gave her some scrap paper to color on and she told me "I'm going to draw Brookie". I looked over ten minutes later and she had drawn a picture of herself, then wrote her name under it by herself and spelled it correctly.
Don't you love the big smile and the bright sun in the corner?
A second self portrait
The Guppy has been amazing me with her increasingly emerging personality, which is strong. She definitely stands up for herself and is not a shy child. Her vocabulary has been increasing as well. But the big news is that about three days ago, she started walking. However, she will only walk when she gets excited and doesn't realize she is doing it. As soon as she realizes that she is walking, she gets scared and goes back down on her knees. Oh well, if she wants to walk on her knees for a while longer, that's fine with me. At least I know she can walk if she wanted to.
Both girls still get along great. I am so pleased by how well they play together. I know, I know, those parents of older siblings are out there right now, snickering at me. I know it probably won't last, but for now I'm going to enjoy watching be best friends and play pals.

The Guppy is so silly!
See what I mean about a strong personality?
For some reason she loves to raise that hand when her picture is being taken

It isn’t easy finding toys that might inspire a child to pick up a book.
