More Singing

Lee continues to love Katie Perry.  Her latest favorite song is Roar.  Every time it comes on she sings it as loud as she can.  I am impressed at the words she knows.  I did ask her if she knew what champion meant and she said no, so I had to explain it to her.  Wonder what words she knows from songs that I am glad she doesn’t know the meaning to, she certainly gets her share every day to and from school.

A Pig Can Jig

We decided to see if Olivia could start to sound out words since she knows her alphabet so well.  So we gave her Brooke’s original A Pig Can Jig book that she learned to read with, and Lee took off reading.  She is doing a good job, but tires and starts getting silly pretty quickly.  Good job Lee, keep it up!

 

Hula Girl

One of Lee’s favorite movies recently is Lilo and Stitch.  It is based in Hawaii and there is a lot of hula dancing in the movie.  Lee picked up on it and now loves hula dancing.  Over the weekend, Brooke promised her that if she was good, she would buy her a hula skirt.  Since Lee was good, she got her skirt, however, for some reason, Olivia won’t wear it with any other clothes.  She thinks she needs to be naked.  Also, because she is so skinny, we had to put a chip clip on the back of the skirt to make it tighter and hold it up on her waist.  Enjoy some first-rate hula dancing!!

Bike Ride

Lee has gotten very good at riding her bike.  She can stop, turn corners, even do a 180 degree turn in the street.  Now we just need to get her to start on her own and she’ll be set.  Time for a bigger bike.

Grasshopper

Lee’s fascination with bugs never ends, which is great.  The other night we were eating outside since the weather is so nice, and I looked over and saw a little grasshopper on the edge of the table.  I told Olivia to look and she got very excited.  It was very hard to get her to put the bug down and go inside when it was time.  At one point of putting the bug down, Lu got a quick hold of it and it lost a leg, but other than that, the bug survived Olivia.

Lee’s Cat

A week ago, we had a stray cat follow us home.  I was hoping it wouldn’t stick around, but for some reason, a food bowl full of cat food, a warm box with a towel in it and a flee collar made it think it was our cat.

Olivia and Jake love the cat.  Last night we went out front to play with it and Lee had a great time.  Olivia has named her Sofia.  Jake is the cat’s favorite person though, she loves him.

New Scooter

Our neighbor’s son outgrew his scooter so they were nice enough to give it to Livi.  Livi had shown interest in scooters when we were at a block party a while back and had a lot of fun on it.  She picked it up pretty fast.  Jake wants to ride it but I think he needs to work on talking first.
