Make it in May

 Claire

I finally found the one way to get her to want to do homework and all it took was a sparkly pink pencil. It is her new favorite thing of the week and it is easier to remind her to hold it correctly too. Most of the time she is asking to watch the tablet instead of doing her homework, but one day she asked to do her homework first so it is progress. We have also started another hour of homework later in the day if she wants the tablet after dinner that has to do with practicing her reading words. I've made a list of the sight words and want to know if she will start to recognize them, so far she only knows the word 'I' but I'm sure with practice she will get better. I was thinking of making more pages of ones that look alike for her to practice sounding out words and rotate them once she has the sight words down.

Shay

Half the time I should be labeling this section Elsa because she plays pretend so often and wears only Frozen-themed clothes that her name should be Elsa. I like seeing how excited she gets when she finds something new or I bring home from shopping like yogurt or drinks. I'm amazed at how her obsession changed so quickly from PJ masks to Frozen in just a few months and don't know what might be next. She has been a very picky eater this week and didn't like trying anything new, but not just won't try it, screams, 'no, I don't want it' at me for even asking. I was able to trick her into trying rice pudding by only calling it pudding but she was very mad that we had potato soup in her cheese. She still takes her naps most days, must be because the weather is warming up and she loves playing outside in the mornings so she is tired by 3pm-ish. The picture is actually of her pretending to sleep so that Claire can wake her up, she doesn't fall asleep on the hardwood floor.
