How Kids Learn~~~!

Like her older brother did, Gigi is learning at her own pace in the way best for her.
MD was writing his name at around 3.5  and Gigi just wrote her name at 5.
This Friday we were signing cards to send to the grandmothers and Gigi signed her card.

It was the first time she did ! She was never made to write any letters or her name.
She usually sends e-mails to a friend and is able to type a few words but most of the time I spell it out for her and point to the letters she cannot remember. She does like typing sometimes and using roses to decorate the text.
Learning happens everyday in our home and it is never ceases to amaze me how children learn
naturally.
It was the same way with her brother and according to his annual testing , required in Minnesota, he spells at between the 6th and 7th grades level.
Here is Gigi's first time writing out her name!

Snow on the ground-where is Spring????

This has been a long cold winter and the kids and I have not enjoyed the fun winter stuff because it was so cold.
We have not made a single snowman as the snow was usually "powdery" and not good sticky stuff due to very low temperatures.






At least this unwelcomed snow/cold spell gave us that chance and Gigi got to make a snowman or two!

It has been a long time!!!!

It has been a long time since I posted. I am goin to start blogging again as a way to keep my children's life documented.
I want them to be able to look back and remember all!!
So here it goes!!!!
CAKE!
