Updates!

It's been a while since I update Miss M & my adventures.

A couple weeks ago we just did some mellow hanging out. I picked her up from Karate and brought her to my house. We made tacos! It was adorable. I gave her the job of grating cheese. She had never done it before and was eager to give it a shot. I think we got MUCH more cheese on the floor than in the bowl. The cats enjoyed that! She started grating the skinny end but when that proved to be too difficult she switched to the wide side (of a block of cheese). I've never used that approach myself but hey! It worked.

After dinner we spent some time reading. She is supposed to read for 20 minutes a day. I have a collection of Dr. Seuss stories and she picked one of those. I think it was challenging for her but she stuck with it! I was very proud of her. I keep trying to instill in her how FUN reading is (she thinks it is just too hard right now to be fun) and how many worlds it can open up! And all the adventures & friends you can meet along the way. Yes, I am a dork and I LOVE to read.



Later that week I picked her up from school and we worked on homework (handwriting) and made dried beef on toast for dinner. She had never had it before and GOBBLED it up - seriously! She ate a ton of it. I'm glad she enjoyed it. In the picture she was showing me how a "lady" wipes her mouth (heh).
