-Astrid decoded a secret message that came with our Cranium game.
-We walked to the Asian Grocery to pick up a couple things we needed.
-Looked at pictures of babies developing in the womb, especially ones that are the same age as our new baby. Watched a video clip of an egg being fertilized and the cells starting to divide.
-Astrid completed a word search and coloured a couple pictures.
-We read four or five story books.
-The girls helped me make pesto and cheese focaccia and a salad for lunch.
-Astrid completed 13 pages in her math workbook. She clearly prefers working with numbers to working with letters.
-I played piano and Muirgen put on dress up clothes and danced around.
-They listened to their CD from music class.
-We talked about why balloon fish (I don't even know if that's their real name) have prickly spines all over them.
-Muirgen drew a picture. I think that very soon she is going to start drawing faces, based on what her pictures are looking like at this point. She certainly has the skill now to do it.
-The girls drew pictures with chalk on the sidewalk while I mowed the front lawn. Muirgen was very excited and proud of herself when she realized she can draw the number '1'.
-We walked down to the pool for the girls' first swimming lesson. It went quite well, although Muirgen was a bit scared of the teacher and refused to do just about everything he tried getting her to do. She told me she got used to him by the end of the class. Hopefully she feels more comfortable next week. I was very impressed with how much Astrid trusted him in the water. Much more than she trusts me.
-We talked about what chlorine is, why it's in the pool and why we need to wash it off our bodies.
