young author's day
sam really missed his sis this week, since she was at school for thursday and friday. so when she returned home late in the afternoon, he wanted to give her a lot of hugs. it was sweet. he is so cuddly, and she is sooo not! hahaha. so it takes a bit of control on her part to allow him to express himself, but she did a good job. Once she realized he was hugging because he loved her, and not just tackling because he wanted to be a nuisance - she allowed him to hug for a while. When he didn't let go, she got a little agitated and was quite done with shared personal space... hahahaha. she is so funny. and usually very diplomatic about it as well.
the ribbon julia is holding up in this picture represents her participation in Young Author's day at school. everyone in school wrote a book, and the JK's were no exception! haha. they did a sweet little story together about a gingerbread man. :) she is VERY PROUD of her ribbon and her book. fun idea... :)
My very helpful four year old. Julia LOVES cleaning. she prefers it to play. which baffles me. a lot.

Congratulations on your book award, Julia and by the way that's a great pose of you with that handy cleaning mop! Sounds like you're a great help to your mom. I can't wait to give you all a great big hug when you come next week. We'll be praying that no-one is congested for the flight! Dad and I are very excited to see you all as well as a few others around here! See you soon. Love mom(Nana)
Great job!!
Oh, and about the cleaning?? Run with that!!! I wish I had bought my youngest a vacuum cleaner when she showed the interest :0)!
Way to go Julia! You're a very patient big sister and a great helper for Mom! I'm glad to hear you like writing stories too.
We have one that loves to clean and be organized too...I always look at her funny--that was SO not me as a child.
Maybe the montesorri idea is true: play is a little person's work. Therefore cleaning can be great play!
