Silverwood

Maylee is trying to be like the green frog behind her...
Her favorite ride was this little kid roller coaster train.  
It goes around seven times, and she did it three times in a row.
 
Just Aunt Jan is missing from this group photo.
Two of Aunt Connie's co-workers are on the left.

One of her favorite rides because she gets soaked...
After her favorite ride...
We brought another set of clothes and shoes just for this ride.

July Snapshots

Every child has embarrassing naked pictures.  I wouldn't want my children left out.
Oops...she caught me taking pictures...
She is "scramping" the soil...
I've learned to just nod my head when she makes up new words.
 Digging for worms to add to the garden boxes...
 "Mom! Take my picture!"

My Little Writer
I was washing dishes and had Maylee work on Ammie's birthday card up at the table.
I told her to write something nice in it.  I heard her say "I like reading books with you."
Then I went over to see how she did.  I expected to see a swirl for her sentence and she had letters!
She wrote ILRBWU...I = I, L = love, R = reading, B = books, W = with, U = you.  
As a kindergarten teacher, I was excited to see that she is writing with beginning sounds (a 1st quarter skill) and she is only 3!
 Ammie, the first grade teacher, was also impressed!
