Abby, Zoë and Enzo

The first part of the day wasn't so exciting for the girls, they just accompanied us on some errands; taking stuff back to the library, stopping at the post office, and then the bank.  Though they did like getting to go into the bank because they played with the train set and got to pick a jolly rancher to have after nap.  Later on we broke out the 'early learning' puzzle sets that Aunt Barbara got for us a while back.  We haven't done them in a while, so it was almost new all over.  The girls put the matches together so quickly, and can guess the words by looking at the picture, so I had to make it a little more challenging.  We did two sets of puzzle pieces: the 'around the house' set and the 'first words' set.  Since both girls were doing so much guessing, I had them say each letter once they found the match and put the puzzle card together, then sound out the word.
