More Probects

It's funny; even though Annie's four now, there are still a few words she says incorrectly. "Projects" is one of them (she says "probects" instead); she also says Shoppee Coff for Coffee Shop and Picuter for Computer. Here's a project we worked on all of last week, prompted by the fact that she was asking me Every Single Day, "Mom, how many more days until Christmas?" So I wrote all the numbers on separate sheets of paper with crayon and then let the girls watercolor over the numbers. We punched holes in the top of each card, strung them up, and hung them in our dining room, where Annie takes off one number each morning at breakfast. It's like a homemade, disposable Advent calendar, only it had 47 days instead of the traditional 25 or 30.
