Abby, Zoë and Enzo

Monday: We did some more with mapping to start our day.  I put some shells in the shape of the US then I took a shell and said it was NH and put it inside the US in its place.  Then I took another shell and said it was Portsmouth and asked if it was a city,state, or country and once it was a city we put it inside the NH shell.  We took another shell to be Dover and put that inside the NH shell too.  We did a few other states with cities in them, then we did Brazil with the state and city we're in and I used my finger to show us driving out of Portsmouth, out of NH, into the different states and into NJ and then showed how we had to fly out of the country, over ocean and other lands and into this country, etc. etc.  Zoë seems to be picking up quickly the city vs. state thing and doing the map thing this way seemed to be more tangible and helpful way for Abby to pick up on it as well.

For journals both of the girls journaled about fish and they both spelled their titles the same way 'Fishss' for fishes.  Not a lot of sentence writing today, I guess it's just Monday.

Tuesday: Abby and Zoë got to do yoga in the pool today.  We did the posture sequence, altering a bit on a couple of poses due to the water level.  After the yoga we of course did swimming, swimming, swimming and then lay on the nice hot deck.

For journals Zoë wrote about the yoga in the pool, along with a great picture.  She left us out of the pool though, saying that the picture was of before we got in it.  Abby journaled about pineapples and drew a really good picture of one, complete with the 'eyes' that we have to cut out.

Wednesday: Had a baby brother!  We will take a couple of weeks 'school vacation' as transitions are made.  Though I did suggest to Chris that he give the girls some paper to do a journal while I was still in the hospital and Abby did a cute journal with a picture of me in the room, with a good depiction of the room layout, and me in the bed with the baby.
