 Claire

We finally finished her first experience with homework and she got really used to writing with a pencil and can now spell and write her own name without having to ask what comes next. She writes them all in capital letters and the R used to look really weird but I was able to fix it this week. We started a 'Getting Ready for Kindergarten" book that has activities as well as practicing the letters she is finding words that start with the sounds too. It takes a little more time to go through the page with her because she isn't used to it but now it seems that she is excited to do it together. She changes her outfits a lot when she wants to go play in the water outside and hasn't understood that she needs to put her clothes away or put panties back on once she is done. I give her a 10-second count down to go get her panties from the closet and she likes the race now so if I stop counting she will say "why did you stop?"

Shay

This girl has an Elsa obsession. We try to leave the church that has an Elsa doll in the nursery and she has a meltdown even though she is currently carrying her two Elsa toys. She asks to watch Frozen at least once a day, dresses up in almost exclusively Elsa outfits, wears heeled Frozen shoes all day, and will not let anyone else play with her Elsa and Anna toys. It's pretty obvious that her new favorite color, blue, is because of her obsession and anything blue is automatically something that is Elsa's, a blue plate for example. She was very excited when they came with daddy to pick me up from the airport on Monday and I didn't have to watch the videos Chris made for me over and over again. Shay likes to watch the videos and will take Chris's phone and watch it over and over again. which is so funny. She tries too hard to find things on the phone and it is amazing how they already know how to use it where she can get out of the photo app and find her PJ Mask shows.
