Stuffed Animal Drawing (4/5)

 What you need: paper, object to draw, pen
 Kelsey was sitting next to me then all of a sudden said, "Quick, I need a pen!"  She then asked for paper and said, "I need to draw this chick."  She started drawing the stuffed chick but then decided, "actually, i think this is a pig."  She asked how to write pig then said, "actually, i want to call it a funny pig."  She sounded out the phrase and wrote it all on her own.  This was her first time doing Kid Writing!

Silly Putty Eggs from Easter Bunny (3/30)

 We went to story time at Barnes and Noble... mass crowds!!! Then hung out to meet the Easter Bunny, with our best buds, The Buddenhagens.  After the photo op, the Easter Bunny gave us silly putty in eggs which we explored when we got home.

 Kelsey put her silly putty in a portfolio sleeve and stepped on it!  What fun!  Sydney used it in a more traditional way.
