I think I can, I think I can . . .

Things have been a little bit crazy around here. Every week I have a new list of things to do and every week I think, "As soon as this week is over, I'll have more time." But then a new week starts and with it a new list of things that absolutely HAVE to get done. I find myself chanting the advice that President Hinkley's father gave him, "Forget yourself and go to work" over and over and over in my head.

I've come to the conclusion that I have to focus on what I have done instead of what I haven't. It's the only way to stay motivated to continue with my list. (That and a can of Coca-Cola Classic)

So in the interest of keeping things positive, I'm going to share some of the things we've been doing with our letter-of-the-week activities. I meant to blog after our "C" week and never did, but here are some of the things that we did.

We made and decorated Cookies while listening to "C is for Cookie" from the Sesame Street Sing the Alphabet CD.


We Colored this picture of Cookie Monster. PBS kids has a page for each letter and number. We listened to the C song on our Leap Pad Fridge Phonics magnetic set.
We read The Very Hungry CaterpillarThen we created our own Caterpillar work of art based on this picture from Pottery Barn Kids. Our Caterpillar still needs feet, but it looks Cute hanging on Charlie's wall.We played on the Bembo's Zoo website: (Click if you want to play too)



We went to the local zoo and did a scavenger hunt for C's. We played Catch. We went for a walk to see the Cows at the dairy. (And got some of their ice-Cream of course.) And although I don't think that Charlie gets that letters make sounds, he sure knows that you can find letters anywhere.
