Reading for Grandma

We are running out of Bob books!  Leah started reading about 10 months ago and has "passed of" 70 of the 80 available. What will we do!? These books have really been the best thing ever for her. She REALLY wanted to read and Bob books have been perfect! At the rate she is going she will be finished with them in about 4 weeks. DOUBLE DRAT! I have tried to find other books she enjoys but most of them are either way too long for a 3 yr. old attention span or just plain boring. What do you do?

Anyway, here is Leah reading a book for her Grandma Schmidt!

Puppy Love

The girls(and their friends) are greatly enjoying a puppy named Charlie that is staying with us for training this week. She is a super sweet girl with a reserved personality.....perfect for treating like a living teddy bear. The big bonus is she LOVES to play in the water. Great timing for July!

Sweetness

Enjoying a horse that belonged to Aunt Carrie. Kate has no fear and will climb on and off all by herself. 

A few times in the last week I have caught these two reading together.  So super sweet!

Rockstar

Leah has decided that sunglasses are the thing to wear when performing. Here is a bit of "The Girl From Ipanema" in portuguese. It hard to get her to sing the whole song without interruption.....it's a long song.

Banana

Kate is talking up a storm these days. Way too many words to list. She tries to repeat much of what we say.  This is my favorite word she says. I just can't get enough!

and more

Learning to peel her own egg. I guess she's not vegan anymore.

Randoms

I love how she writes her name. SOOOOO super cute!

Leah filled up her first book chart at school a few weeks ago. It took her only 4 months to do this! now she is almost half finished with the next one. 

Spagetti night

Hanging out at Station Park. She always has a bruise on her head. Kate has no fear it seems and is really all over the place!
