October 2010





It is fall in the pacific northwest which means cooler nights, harvesting apples, carving pumpkins from our garden and a few last visits to the coast before winter storms set in.


Braeden is counting all of the time...he points at things that have numerous repetitive objects on them (like a purse or picture) and with his finger, counts the objects...3...7,8,9,10! Or 1,2,3,6,8,9,10! He gets very excited. Kaia knows the alphabet and sings it all of the way through. LMNOP do get pretty slurred together at times. They try to read their books back to us, but so far it is mostly parts of their favorite sentences and the sound of what we say on each page. They are talking a lot and are connecting words with their feelings like "I'm scared", "Kaia's sad" and "how about a hug?"




Kaia is into balls (her favorite game to play) and she is also picking up riding the balance bike really well. Braeden loves to pretend to cook and has quite the imagination. Today, he crumpled up newspaper, put the wad in one of their little kitchen pots, brought it to me and said "Pasta!" Both love to draw and are into planes, trucks, cars, hats, shoes and music. They also love to play outside and go to the park. Supertots has started up again and they go once a week for an hour and a half of romping fun.
