Kids Say...

X: "Mama when I grow up I want to fly a rocket ship!"
Dustin: "Xavier, that is called an astronaut. You want to be an astronaut and fly into outer space?"
X: "Yes! I want to drive the rocket ship. As long as I get to sit in the front seat..."



I was working on some phonics and sight words with Xavier the other day. I started this particular lesson with the letter "t" and suddenly it sparked something inside Xavier. He asked if he could have the board to show me something so I gave it to him. He dre amuch bigger "t" with a circle around it and began giving me a fraction lesson about fourths and took turns drawing sections and asking me how many parts were "shaded." THIS KID!!! He is smart just like his daddy :)

Xavier's fraction lesson for mommy :)



Lastly, I was in the kitchen cleaning while Luke was napping and X was drawing. He ran into find me to show me a present he had drawn for me. I was SO impressed with it that I had to take a picture! He wrote "mom" all by himself and the elephant is pretty spectacular for a 4 year old :)

Summer Fun!

We've been SUPER busy this summer with travel and playdates, parks and library trips, the works! I've kept the babies pretty busy this summer and we've had a blast! I was telling Dustin a few days ago that this is the best summer vacation to date:)

Anyway, here are some pictures of some of our Tallahassee summer adventures!
