What to do mid January when the weather is bad, and your kids are sick and YOU are just sick of staying inside?
A: You hold Pre-School in the bathtub..What's better than a bath AND a lesson? (These aren't even incriminating pictures of her in the tub because the camera came out after the fact!)
Just for Journaling purposes- Tianna is getting pretty good at recognizing letters and can sometimes put them in the right order in the alphabet. She must be more like her Daddy though because she is REALLY good with numbers. She counts beautifully and can recognize any number (well... up to 10 anyway). A recent development is that she can spell her own name! While we were learning that, we went through our whole house finding every T we could. Now we can't watch "T"V or drive anywhere without her exclaiming, "I found "T!" It's so great! She is very bright and a quick learner... I'm really glad Santa Claus brought her these foam letters and numbers so she can practice her skills!
B: Build a fortress!
C: Take in a good nap (yeah.. wouldn't that be nice?)
D: Build houses out of Bristle Blocks.
Tianna is also very creative. Today she built this house and even added windows and described to me where each room from our real house was on her model. My room was the blue square on the left.
E: Dance
F: Learn how to crawl, pull yourself up to a standing postion, and get your first tooth! (it broke through on January 21)
This week was a busy one for Adelia. She learned how to crawl... or the equivalent. For some reason Luke and I must have some unsaid rule that our children cannot crawl normally. Tianna would always have one leg in a crab-crawl and couldn't really crawl right until well after she could walk, run, jump, etc. NOW that is exactly what Adelia does. I'm still holding out hope for her that she'll learn to crawl correctly and be content with it for awhile. We'll see. She enjoys pulling herself up so much that I see walking coming very quickly.
G: Make a SNOWMAN!
Or should I say......... snowWOMAN. Tianna can't have a boy anything, that would just be silly! So we made our chick have long wispy hair. Isn't she lovely with those BLUE milk lid eyes?
H: Take lots of pictures and post them on your blog

Sweet nothing better than learning in the bath! I am going to need some ideas for our summer, since it will be too hot to go outside. Wish we could of seen you guys before we left!!! You will have to come and visit us!!!!!
You always seem to have something fun to do. We are glad your family is doing so great!
You are such a good mommy. What fun ideas. Adelia really has a "leg up" on Miles in the crawling area. He just gets really frustrated, but it will come soon enough, I'm sure. I can't wait to see what fun things you find to do in February!
You have been having fun! I should get up off the couch and do something fun...but here I am, still sitting on the couch.
You are the funnest mom ever! How neat that you are creative and can find fun things for them all to do. The weather down here is crapy too and ahhh I am going crazy too. Maybe we will build a fort today too! Thanks for the idea!
Lovin' the bathtub fun!! Might as well learn the alphabet and spell words while getting clean! :)
Fun Fun Fun! Wow, crawling and a tooth and pulling herself up! You have a strong little girl. And that Tianna is a smarty pants. Love your snow-woman.

Looks like so much fun! I can't believe how fast Adelia is growing up! She was just BORN!!! Love the snow women too - what a fun family!
