Well, where I left you last we were deep in paper puppets. So the next day we tried a puppet show, which worked fine while I was there to make up the story and they could follow along, but when it was their turn they had a hard time coming up with a story. So we did a quick run through of the parts of a story (intro, conclusion, characters, setting etc.) and that seemed to jump start them so they spent a good part of the day doing puppet shows with the baby in her excersaucer for an audience. Then for some reason they built a duplo mailbox and started putting small squares of paper in it that were "letters." They all said puppy. So I wrote each of them a little note that said "I love you, from mom." That set off another chain reaction and now I have about 20 little love notes from Jacob. They all say "I love Mom To Mom." He had to ask how to spell it for the first few times but then he could do it by himself. He also cut them all out so they're all sort of odd shapes and he'd invariable cut something off that he didn't mean to and had to tape them back together!
Yesterday we went to Chuck E Cheese and Noelle got a little lizard for a prize. Just this morning we discovered that it glows in the dark, so then they had to get all their other little plastic animals and see if they glow in the dark. They don't, so we then looked up why things glow in the dark, and why you have to hold them up to a light first.
