I was sitting in the chair holding Elliott and talking to Mia and Cooper. Cooper was prying on my arm trying to pull it (or something like that - I'm not exactly sure what he was trying to accomplish) and wasn't having much success so he recruited Mia. Apparently she was pretty optimistic about her ability as she told Cooper; "Stand back!!" Ha ha!
I took a couple pictures of Mia looking at posters and identifying letters. I was asking questions and changing the questions around and Mia was doing great. For example I asked her this; "What picture is with Momma Darcy's letter?" (That is NOT an easy question for this age group!) It only took a couple tries for her to figure out what I was asking and she answered; "Duck!" Nice job Mia!
I was also impressed with what she did with this poster. She found a couple of "small d's" and asked me if this was "Momma Darcy's letter too?" That was very impressive because a "small d" really looks nothing like a "Big D." We also practiced some sign language and did the shapes. We've only done the shapes maybe three or four times and she's never shown much interest. Today she got three or four correct (including parallelogram) and that was pretty cool. We colored some more shapes today so now we have a total of ten to practice with!
Mia had three little dinosaurs sitting nose-to-nose and she was introducing them to each other. :) It went like this; "Meet your friends! This is your family! Spike, Roo, Me!!" :)
