Pajama Day

Yesterday was a little rough here.  Noah still has the chest cold going on.  Amanda had a sinus headache all day from having a cold as well.  I got Lily off to the bus before I went to work, but there some battles over the lunch and snack I packed for her.  It made for a long day.

The good news is that Lily got some stickers for excellence in math yesterday.  She is getting extra math homework that is a lot more challenging to her than the regular stuff.  Plus, with a little help she is doing well with that too.  Her doing well at math is not such a huge surprise to us.  What does surprise us is her excellence in art.  We'll take it though.

Meanwhile, Noah continues to soak up information like a sponge.  For example, he can spell his name.  Unlike Lily, he loves the fridge phonics that tell him the sounds that the letters make and he likes singing the little songs with each letter too.  He sometimes sings the alphabet as a prayer before meals.  He's not very articulate, but there is a lot going on with him.
