Camera Phone Pics from Today

Isabel has been having fun figuring out her numbers & letters. She can recognize all her letters and number 1-10 & 12. For some reason sometimes she screws up 11, but I am sure she'll have it down next week. She has started to realize that sometimes letters & numbers look like something else if you turn in, for example: a 3 can be an E when turned the other way, that 1 or 7 can look like L if turned upside down, that 0 and O look the same, and that 6 & 9 are the same shape just each other turned upside-down. She recognizes letters & number everywhere now. She looks at a digital clock on the microwave and reads me the numbers. If we are standing by a sign or parked near one, she will read the letters (generally phoenetically). She will read the letters on our shirts if they are printed on.

We've been working on colors and so far she recognizes yellow, blue & brown. Brown is the new one for this week.

She loves semi trucks. Whenever we pass them (or they pass us) on the road she points & yells "truck!". Although, she also does that for a van too, but not pickup trucks. She actually doesn't point at pickup trucks too much.

She knows the names to most of the Bob the Builder characters. She doesn't really watch it that much, but we do have a couple from in our own library or borrowed from the library that are Bob the Builder that we read often. The one she can't seem to get is Wendy, who she always just calls "girl."

She really loves dancing in a circle now and can get quite dizzy from that. Ring-a-Round the Rosy is her favorite, but she'll dance in a circle with you to just about anything.
