[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNMLAhNtloM] Is it odd that my 5 year old asked to watch Debbie Harry (honestly, she asked for her by name) on the Muppet Show DVD and is now bopping around in her princess dress, straw hat, sunglasses and boots singing “One Way or Another”?That’s not odd right?

Shayel’s school wanted them to practice writing their first and last name using proper upper and lowercase letters. So we practiced a bit just now using the magnadoodle. The top part was mine - I helped her a few times with the letters she has a hard time with - so she could have a [...] Related posts:
