for the past several weeks, i've been pretty intense about letters and how words are spelled (well, at least what letters different words start with)...i know how to spell my name and can identify every letter in the alphabet .. regardless of the order. (i'm still working on singing the whole alphabet song, though -- that timing/speech/coordination thing is a little hard for my bilingual-ish tongue.) you can see (below) a couple videos my mom took of me putting together an alphabet puzzle....one of my favorite past times. i should also give props to SUPER WHY - the pbs cartoon that has really gotten me interested in letters and words.
memorial day weekend was a mix of activity. my momma had a work meeting on saturday morning (and she got to go on an airplane!) and then she and papa went to a wedding on saturday night - so i got to spend the evening with my auntie PHON! we went to visit marin and markda in st.paul and we had SOOO much fun! i sure was tired that night. on sunday we went to the minneapolis farmer's market and i ate one whole ear of corn all by myself, for the second week in a row! (living-up to my nickname silo-corn) we spent monday tending to the garden and general spring cleaning of the garage and house. my PA-TU came for dinner.... i really like this picture of us together!
i was so excited that meg and jeremy and maeva came to our house for dinner on sunday. they had been out running errands, and my parents just knew they could use a hot meal waiting for them on their first real day out as a family. i got to watch meg change maeva's diaper. i was mesmerized by her and knew to be very gentle. i wanted to show her all of my favorite toys but had to show meg instead ....... did you know that maeva starts with M?
