3 great "new"s

Ashlyn started school today with a new great idea from her teacher. Each worksheet and assignment she was given had a time limit on it. She used a brand new timer while she worked today...and LOVED it. She was up at 8:00 (which never happens on Tues/Thurs) and had her timer in her hand. She ran to the school room and started at number 1. She set the timer for each of the 15 items on her list and finished her work so much faster than she has ever done. And she loved it :) Her work is more independent this way too which was awesome for our morning routine. We finished school work early enough today to watch the prequel to the Little Mermaid together....very fun!

Jonathan's new favorite word is "here". He hands me everything and says "here." It is very cute. Some other favorite words right now include "mama", "bowl", "ball", "done", "dance", and "more". He is doing great and it is so refreshing to know we will have a good talker again - although Caleb is really catching up for his age now :)

Caleb's new exciting toy, Baba (recently called puppy dog), has got new stuffing and looks great. He had flattened down to only material about a month ago. We stuffed him yesterday and I sewed his four legs...much improved and more huggable.
