Three Great Reasons To SMILE

This is what having a girl is all about !!!!

I love painting her finger & toenails, the best is that she loves it too.She sits so quite and still until they are all done,AmAzIng !! Then she spends the rest of the day showing them to everyone who will give her the time, and that is everyone.

I just wanted to show you how cute Eme's little toddler bed is

***notice the three babies in the baby bed

Anytime we go to the store Eme wants a baby most of the time we try to distract her and run the opposite direction of any dolls. However, if you have ever met Eme you understand, she is just so darn cute it is hard not to spoil her.

These are her favorites, so they get the bed.

She makes me smile !!

Speaking of smiling

Jaxson hasn't missed a beat from school to home

He is actually doing great and learning how to learn himself ( this is the key)

Anyone interested in reading more about homeschooling check out this book

A Thomas Jefferson Education by Oliver DeMille

I really want my children to be educated the way that Thomas Jefferson was, that is really all I am going to say about that. It is just a personal decision.

Here he is 5yrs old writing words ( in cursive) that he has read from index cards I put together

He just gets them out and writes and reads them

The Montessori school uses a writing to reading program, we are just continuing this at home.

So far so good

He makes me smile !!

Okay something amazing happened

Liam had a rhino exactly like the one pictured above, that he loved. We left it at the park about one year ago we went back to recover it & nothing

This caused many sleepless nights until we bought the tiger pictured above.

Here comes the miracle

My brother Joseph found this rhino at a school exchange thing INCREDIBLE it is exactly like the one we used to have ( i am still looking for the pictures of him with it before). When Joseph gave it to Liam you should have seen his face, he totally remembered it.

The only thing is now we have both the lion and rhino with us all the time, maybe he will grow out of this.

He makes me smile !!
