Spring Break Intern

My little "helpers" were available this week and wanted to help mommy with everything except cleaning their own bedroom. Owa assisted me in sending out review copies. She decided to retire her job shortly after Eli and Addison went outside to play stick hockey. We have had a great spring break: cousin sleep over, Star Wars Marathon, Mexican Fiesta, slumber party at Nana's and yesterday the triplets spent an hour rolling down a hill at the park. This morning we woke up to snow. Another chance for a snowball fight!

Everybody's favorite new drool proof series of baby books just won an iParenting media award!

Over the Moon

We were driving in the car and Eli asked if cows can really jump over the moon? (yes they can - wearing a hat and pearls no less!)

The Literacy Ambassador Recommends Indestructibles

Cathy Puett Miller also known as The Literacy Ambassador recently did an interview with The Reading Tub.  Cathy was asked to single out 10 books, one for each year to recommend for parents to share with their children.  She chose Indestructibles for age 0-3.  You can read her reply below or go here for the entire interview or here to learn more about her and her books.



Cathy: Wow. There is actually no way I could do that nor would I want to. Part of the beauty of reading with your child is finding the right fits for the two (or more) of you. That said, for the years 0-3, think bright pictures, familiar story themes and topics, few words on each page to match the attention span of the individual child. also remember children are very tactile at that age so include a few books that are “mouth proof” like board books or plastic or bath toys. Workman has some new books called “Indestructibles” that are great for this age.

YES!  But don't just take our word for it.  Kristen Schott put Indestructibles to the test:

Read - Write- Get What you Want

My grocery list: cabbage, dressing apples, grapes, pasta, bananas, tomatoes, milk - just the basics nothing fun.  Owa spiced up the back of the list and I was so impressed with all she is learning in kindergarten that I went ahead and got her a box of corn dogs and package of cookies!
