Clothes, Food, Elmo and Reading

Hey, look, again, I'm not complaining about K's (3) eating habits. She ate about 12 peas tonight! I'm getting her to eat 3 peas a night (because she's three) on a regular basis. Woo-hoo!

We got some new duck-shaped cheddar crackers... K called them "quackers." MWH and I both laughed.

K LOVES clothes. When N outgrows something, I put it in K's closet and K gets so excited. Even if K doesn't see me put it in her closet, she INSTANTLY spots it as new to her! Tonight, she helped MWH fold their (little girl) clothes. She spied a new shirt of N's (just acquired for school) and she said it was hers. K put it on and came upstairs to show me. N got very upset. A glimpse of the future, eh? K told N it was going to be too tight for her (N) because it fit her (K) perfectly. (Too many hers around here, huh?)

T (2) still loves Elmo. She's loved him for a while. You can read about the Love Affair here. She has a big Elmo that goes in the bathtub... She LOVES him. She also loves to wear Elmo diapers. The kind of diapers we buy have all of the Sesame Street characters on them... a few Big Birds, a few Cookie Monters, Ernies, Elmos, etc. T will go through the package of diapers and pull all the Elmos out. It's pretty funny.

Tonight, N (5.5) was teaching K to read. N loves to be a teacher. N had the flashcards out and was going through them with K. It was very very sweet. K is probably going to be reading fairly soon. She has great phonological awareness and a good grasp on phonics too. (K sounds out simple words sometimes.)
