Bree, looking at the table where she had just eaten her cereal: “Oh, somebody made a mess!” She says this after many meals when she notices the mess she leaves behind. She also likes to repeat the phrase, “Don’t make a mess” as she is making it. Or, “No ‘skeaming’” after she’s been screaming.

Bree Reads “The B Book”
One of Bree’s favorite books is The B Book. She often requests it as her bedtime story. Luckily, I don’t mind reading it over and over since it is one of my favorites from my childhood. And it started her on the path to learning her letters; she has enjoyed pointing out capital Bs on […]
Bring Your Kid to Work Day
“Bring your kid to work day” @Wayin.
My Little Ponies
Bree loves My Little Ponies. I love seeing her play with some of the ponies from my own childhood. (Mixed in with the new “Friendship is Magic” ponies and some others as well.)
A Day in the Homeschool Life
Reviewing spelling words with Adrianna in school today while Bree plays with Legos and Cate practices her kicking skills. I love it when school feels relaxed and our day goes smoothly. And don’t you love Adrianna’s fancy velvet dress? LOL. I didn’t let her wear it out for Bible study this morning so she wore […]
Next Move
Contemplating her next move. Â I was teaching Adrianna how to play Rummikub but of course Bree had to have her own rack and tiles to “play” too.Â
Don’t Eat the Baby
The other night, Greg was holding Cate and doting on her, saying, “It’s a baby.” Not long afterward, he heard Bree saying, “Don’t eat da baby. Don’t eat da baby.” He didn’t know why she was saying that until he realized that she must have misinterpreted his “It’s a baby” for “Eat the baby”.
Big Girl Bed
At bedtime three nights ago, Bree crawled into Adrianna’s bed and asked to go “nigh-nights” there instead of in her crib. Since Adrianna usually sleeps in the bed in the spare bedroom (because she likes to stay up late reading), I decided to let Bree try the “big girl bed” for the night, with the […]
Adli-na-na-na
Bree’s pronunciation of Adrianna’s name has gone from “Na-na” to “Adli-na-na” or sometimes even “Adli-na-na-na”.
Bree and School
When I told Adrianna that it was time to start our schoolwork for the day, Bree piped up, “I wanna do school.” So I got out Adrianna’s old math manipulatives for her and now she is happily making shapes. Learning is fun!
