Lorelai is broadening her vocabulary at a rapid pace. This week she has added Melmo(Elmo), yellow, purple, blue, green, cracker and clouds. We have been adding talks about colors and weather to our daily life a little more. They have a xylohphone that they lost the stick to. Its nice and colorful, so I have been improvising and using it for teaching colors, instead. Finn also discovered it makes awesome sounds when you drive your matchbox across it. So it has evolved into fun and different lessons for sure.

This is a video of Lorelai saying yellow..I just love how she says it.
While we were on the subject of colors, I pulled out a stack of paint chips(yes a stack, I was naughty at the store) and laid them out for them to see all the colors. We talked about each color and then I showed Finn how they could be matched up for color. He thought that was pretty fun. Lately he has been taking like things around the house and lines them up perfect and counts them. So when we had them matched by color he took it upon himself, to make them all nice and neat. Of course, you cant line them up nice and neat and not count them. So we got to work on that as well. It was awesome to make such progress with one activity!
Now that Im on a productivity high, I think its time to let my tots play on the patio, while I clean out our entry closet. This past weekend we spent a lot of time out there straightening, sweeping and putting some heavy wire netting around the railing. They have been loving going out and playing. It is perfect weather today. So, being able to have the door open and them being able to go in and out is really nice.
Anyways, gotta go before I get to comfortable sitting here and lose my high!
