20 - Keep 'em busy!

Whenever we get out the broom to sweep now we hear this little voice say, "I try?" So, never one to say no if someone else wants to do my cleaning I always say, "Sure." Here is McKenzie very happy to be "helping" sweep up.
Hmmm does this face look familiar Mom and Dad...I'm sure you have about 100 pics of me making the same one!

The artist today hard at work in her "studio". This is a familiar sight in our house these days. McKenzie absolutely loves anything to do with drawing, colouring, or painting. She focuses so intently on what she is doing and we have seen a definate improvement in her skills in the last few weeks. She can draw shapes with much more control and is getting much better at colouring in the object she is intending to instead of just scribbling everywhere. It is so neat to watch her develop.

She also counted to 13 the other day. She routinely goes to 10 now and often to 12 but did 13 for the first time the other day. My new favourite word is 11. You have to hear her say it. It resembles nothing like 11 except it has all the right sounds totally mixed up said after 10 and before 12.

Yes, the face is very familiar - so is the concentration one - only you were busy dressing your barbies with that look! MOM
