Hundreds Chart Scholar

We had a big victory that we're proud to share. After committing to work on writing 1-100, on Friday Sapphire reached her goal.  The reward she had chosen had something to do with motivating her. Of all the things she could request, this little negotiator asked for a pumpkin pie.

Perhaps she thought this would delay her efforts, since she also said that pumpkins are only around in the fall, so why should she work on this hundreds chart now?  When I explained that the grocery store wisely saved a few for the wintertime, she set to work. 

Our family celebrated Valentine's Day over two days, but mainly with a visit to the Indian restaurant.  As she shoveled curry and rice into her little mouth, Ruby said "We should come here again." I agree, though the other two girls are not such big fans.  We did have a nice time, now that they are old enough to feed themselves and stay in their chairs...for the most part. 

A quarterly birthday extravaganza brought my extended family together this last weekend, and we were all stunned by the growth of the littlest, doesn't-look-like-a-preemie-now cousin.  We will hope to see the other grandparents soon. 

The weather is either getting in our way or forcing us to take a break. So far, in the last day, it has canceled co-op, church, and Awana.





Sharing the love in Central PA!
