Mia has been doing so much "animal play" lately. She's usually a "puppy" or "horsey." :) One day she was really growling and said she was a "wolf!" Lauralea put this headband on her this morning so I took a picture of a Hippy Animal!
Cooper and Mia were playing in the igloo and bouncing hard and crazy on the mattress. Baby Elliott crawled to the igloo entrance and watched them and then he watched their wild play on the mattress as well. Mia also read lots of books and played with the dolls. Here's a picture of her give her "babies" a "bath."
I took this pictures of the kids with the stickers and tape they did at Art Time. You can see their art work on the wall when you pick them up. The art on their cubby is from several weeks ago that has been displayed on the wall. They love having it there and talk about it frequently during meals.
I told you about Mia running to the fence trying to get anyone with a dog to stop so she can pet it. Yesterday afternoon there was a woman (alone) walking on the sidewalk and Mia yelled at her; "HEY! You got any dogs?!?!" LOL So she talked to Mia for a minute and walked on. Mia yelled again; "HEY! Where you going?!?!"
I'm sure you remember me talking about the logic of a two year old. (Brain development in this age range happens to be a favorite topic of mine!) So you have to forgive me for using this example again, but here goes! For about 15 years I've been asking 1 - 3 year olds this question; "What does an anteater eat?" I've never had one child in our Program answer that correctly! You can easily teach a child the correct answer, but that is not the point here! I was reading an alphabet book to Mia and Cooper yesterday which had a picture of an anteater (with an ant crawling on it's back) and I asked the question; "What does an anteater eat?" Mia yells, "POPCORN!!" :) Love it! Thought you might like that! Keeping this in mind helps me have realistic expectations when dealing with this age group.
