A beautiful Fall

It has been a beautiful fall here in Roosevelt. We have been having fun doing simple activities every day this month. Today we went on a Nature walk and collected things to make a little collection. It is amazing how much fun simple things can be. Because we were 'searching' we noticed lots of things that we don't usually notice. It is wonderful what we can see when we look for it. Some things we found: flowers, pine needles, mushrooms, leaves, choke cherries, rocks, feathers, bark, grasshopper wings, ant hills and a wasp nest.
We have been busy with preschool, our primary program, and life. Anna started Dance last week, she has a couple of friends and her cousin Baylee in her class. She enjoys it and its going to be just right for her. Megan is quite upset that she can't be part of it though. We are getting a lot more one on one time with Anna involved in preschool and dance. It is good for us both. Megan is so imaginative. She can really play well by herself, but enjoys having someone to play with and give her attention too.

 

Megan loves to be outside! We have been working on potty training. She is doing great! Mommy is learning to stay positive and be consistent. We are trying a new approach where Megan is more in control. It fits her personality. We just remind her to keep dry and tell us when she has to go. The first couple of days are spent watching her really close and helping her learn to run to the bathroom.

Some cute things to remember:
Anna: "Mommy did you marry Daddy?" Me: "Yes" Anna "Who will I marry?" Me: "Someone who loves you and you love them" Anna "Maybe I can marry Daddy too."

Anna and Megan are getting better at sharing. They like the control of someone asking them nicely for something. The new thing is they have to say "Pretty please with a cherry on top." so cute!

Megan says that her pink tricycle is a motorcycle and she pretends to put on a helmet and be in a race. She also has a pretend friend "twinkers" that she takes care of.
