Purple!

Mary Lane has been saying more words every day. Her favorites are Mama, Dada, something that sounds like Ekka, bubbles, Bible, cracker, and now PURPLE!!! I offered the girls a popscicle today after lunch and Erica said she wanted purple. Mary Lane immediately started saying, "purple, purple." I asked her if she wanted purple or orange, "Purple!"

Erica is showing more and more interest in learning to read. She wants to know what sounds letters make, and likes to sit and pretend to read. I showed her how to "read" a book by looking at the pictures. Here is Erica reading the last two pages of "Blue Hat, Green Hat," by Sandra Boynton.
