Making apple trees on the light table and talking about changing seasons
Then he got mad that his tree didn't have any roots, so we had to fix that :)
A little math, too!
And a contact paper tree with some pretty leaves to decorate and redecorate.

Overheard last night
Dad: It's time to brush your teeth.
Chipmunk: I don't want to.
Dad: But you have to take care of your teeth so they stay healthy. Do you want them to all fall out?
Chipmunk: YES!! They're going to fall out anyway.
Chipmunk: I don't want to.

Chipmunk: YES!! They're going to fall out anyway.

He's decided that he's ready
...and he let me know.
We make things available to the Chipmunk and let him know to bring them to us when he's ready to look at something new. He's been talking about building words and reading for a while now and he's definitely recognizing and sounding out some words.
Today, he brought me his letter box :)
He chose the words and asked me to help him sound them out. I only corrected when something was really off.
More words!
A Proud Chipmunk who won't stop spelling for me to take his picture :)
*sniff sniff*

Bloogs blowing by!
"Think of black water. Think up a white sky. Think up a boat. Think of bloogs blowing by."
Dr. Suess
Empty cardboard box leads to cars, ramp building, boats, crayons, and a request for someone to draw "bloogs blowing by". And an afternoon of fun!

We pulled a few carrots today
We're still really enjoying our garden :)
We decided today to pull up most of our carrots to make room for some fall veggies. We put in seeds for broccoli, brussel sprouts, and lettuce.
It's kind of a miracle we got to bring any of them home.
Can't complain about that!!

Turtle tracks
We decided this morning that we needed more time at the beach!
The Chipmunk dressed for the occasion - he loves crabs :)
Some sand, shells, sea glass, and animals and we were in business!
He made turtle tracks in the sand and had a long, wonderful play.
