One of our new neighbors came over for a visit yesterday so I could give her some of my moringa tree clippings. I never know how my little beasts will perform in public, but while the neighbor was visiting, Ellie showed off and did a GREAT job on her Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) words! I was so proud of her!After the neighbor left, Ellie and I started working on composers - this time I found some obscure guy (Finzi) from the Impressionist era. She didn't like him, and thereafter picked every wrong answer, then crawled off of her basket, flipped onto her back next to me, and bit my butt.
Sorry, Impressionist Composers, Ellie is Unimpressed.
Today I gave her the option of learning some guitar composers or Baroque - she picked Baroque, and then picked Bach over Vivaldi. She loves Bach :)
We listened to Inventions and looked at pictures of harpsichords and violins. She kept picking "Violin" I think hoping I'd turn on some Concertos instead. "Turn off the freaking harpsichord, Mom." Of course, I obliged her. We watched another live Concerto played by a symphony on Youtube and then she meandered off to find a drink :)

Isabelle was the superstar of the morning. She reviewed all of her lowercase letters and learned the last six (u, v, w, x, y, z)... and then READ HER FIRST BOOK! I was SO proud of her!!! I kissed her tummy and gave her lots of treats and scritches! <3 I also shuffled her CVC cards so that I couldn't see them and practiced for our blind tests - and she read through them like the little champ she is!
Oh, Isabelle!!! <3
I so love my little 'too girls!!!
