PaTtErN, PaTtErN, PaTtErN

Not sure if it's just developmental or our latest obsession with Nick Jr's Team Umizoomi but we're totally into patterns.  Kelsey loves when I break into song, "It's pattern time..." and then follow through with a verbal pattern of any random object (ex: car, car, truck, car, car, truck, car, car...).  She likes to come up with her own and we give super simple ones to Sydney, whom seems to be catching on pretty quickly! (Ex: Dora, Boors, Dora, Boots, Dora...) Anyway, we used those glass decorative beads usually used in flower vases, to make some patterns of our own.  This activity lasted FOREVER!  We all took turns making and completing the patterns.  (Just a few, posted in the pic above).  Sydney had more fun counting the beads.
She can count to 13 (skipping 6), so cute to hear!
