A. went to cake decorating class and drama class. She loves these two classes... loves to be creative... loves to imagine.

Rented and watched Felicity. A. noted the way they always talked so politely and formally and started calling me "Mother".

Watched Extreme Makeover home edition. The girls love this. Like helping those in need. E. says when someone's house gets old that she wants to build them a new one... maybe I should look into some kind of architect books... or at least building homes type crafts.

Learned to finger knit. She liked this but her attention span was so small. She started this twice... each time spending only 5 min. each. She LOVED the scarf that I made her and wanted to wear it right away.

Went to Subway. They have Wizards of Waverly Place toys. On the toy they asked a bunch of trivia questions about the show. She got almost every single one right and was so excited. She really absorbs and remembers the things she is interested in and delights at showing that off to others.

E. took off her own clothes and put her own PJs on for the first time... was SO SO SO proud of herself.

We read a couple chapters of Little House Christmas book.

Ended with two books on tape: Cinderella and Fox and the Hound.

A. stayed up for about 30 min. reading her Felicity #2 book. I assumed that I would read these books aloud to her, as I was afraid she couldn't read them on her own. I haven't set any "times" when she HAS to read. In the past, she has begged to ONLY read ONE chapter... didn't want to read more (and these were books that SHE chose and SHE liked... but I made her sit down and read them a little each day.) She read the first Felicity book all in one day and is now nearly done with the second. Hmmm...

No writing today. She needs to write more without me forcing it. Hmmm...
