I like this picture! We'd been reading books and one of them was one of the "I Spy" books where they search and identify items. So Cooper and Mia were holding other books in front of Sophie (a bit too close to her face, but in this picture Mia is doing pretty good) and in this picture Mia is asking, "Can you find a bear?" Ha ha! (There actually is a bear on the page so at least it wasn't a trick question!)
Mia was lifting up the igloo (against the law) and got her hand pinched under the edge of it. Ouch!! I was putting lunch on the trays and I heard her cry and Cooper immediately came running and said, "Mia's hand stuck! Mia's hand stuck!" Very well done Cooper! I was impressed. So I rescued her and after I left I heard Cooper say, "Let's do that again!" Ha ha! Mia said, "I don't want to do that again!" Now that's a good choice Mia!
More about reading books - Mia and Cooper were answering the questions I was asking about the animals and doing a great job. (It was more like "filling in the blank" rather than me asking the question!) For example, I read the sentence "The little Panda likes to eat the sweet_____" And they answered, "bamboo!" Very good! It's a fun way to read to this age group and keeps them actively involved in the stories.
I was going to try to describe a couple of other books we read, but I'll just tell you what they call it; "Scanimation." How's that for a new word!? (You can "google" it if you're curious!) Geez - google - another new word! It's hard to keep up! Anyhow, maybe these books are partially to blame for Mia loving to play like animals. :) They have lots of different animals and they ask questions like this; "Can you gallop like a horse?" "Can you strut like a rooster?" "Can you slither like a snake?" And of course the kids love these books!
