I was on the phone to a friend this morning, after finishing I wandered past Nathan's room and saw one child doing some copy-writing from a Thomas the Tank Engine book and the other playing with little puzzles and letter cards.
Danielle then wanted to write me a "message". She told me what she wanted to write, and I after dictating the first few words (the letters she knows) she wanted me to write the rest for her to copy.
The wind had dropped down to just a breeze today after a few very blustery ones, so after lunch we walked down to the park with our ball for a kick around.
Danielle spotted some Toi toi that she is obsessed with at the moment (as my bag shows by always having a few feathery grassy things in it).
I love seeing the little things that kids do that as an adult you just don't think of - I noticed Danielle opening and closing her mouth into the wind. She told me she was catching the wind - so I had to try it myself and yep! it felt quite nice lol!!
Reading: Cat in the Hat, Mother Goose stories and Magic School Bus book about butterflies.

Lovely.
I love the catching parts- both catching the babes figuring out letters and reading, and the catching of the wind.
What's a Toi toi? Is it a plant?
Tell D I will try it next time I am in the wind - too cute!
Love Leanne
Steph, I agree, the catching bits are really neat. Toi toi (toy toy) is a cutty grass thing - actually in the first pic of them kicking the ball in the distance you can see a row of large bushes.
Leanne, yes, give it a go! Maybe that's why dogs like to hang their heads out car windows too!
