Soooo...Y week came and I couldn't ignore it because we only have a few weeks of school left. I HAVE to finish the alphabet BUT I didn't have a Y book and hadn't settled on the theme...ugh! I'd feel bad but I was coming off a weekend of Jill breaking her leg. Truly, Monday was at the doctor's office and was a continuation of X week as we looked at x-rays. Tuesday came and I asked the family...what should Y be? Yellow? Yarn? Year? Hmmm...maybe I should have planned many weeks ago :) Wednesday snack came and I handed everybody alphabet cookies. These were Adam's:
I asked him to read the word. We reviewed the sounds and then he sheepishly declared, "yes." He was so proud that he could read it. So fun to see him realize that he is going to be reading very soon! Can Yes be our theme? Yes!
Our other Y theme was yellow. Adam drew and colored a yellow boat with a yellow sun (sing with me - We all live in a Yellow Submarine!)
And note the "yes" he wrote on his paper. He was so proud of that word that he wrote it to show Daddy later. The picture was drawn the next day to add decoration to his "yes."

When we took walks we looked for yellow. It turns out there are many yellow flowers and yellow leaves out there! There are also some unique yellows like these yellow pizzas (yes, that's what my children call them.)
We also spent time blowing bubbles (finding fun outside activities that entertain Jill stuck in a stroller!) Adam took on the challenge of catching them. He did this everyday!
Jill continued her move into the world of preschool practicing her cutting (take note of the pretty pink cast there :) I realized after I took the picture that she was cutting with her left hand. I'm pretty sure that she is right handed so I switched the scissors into her right hand. She didn't mind and just continued right on cutting her paper into tiny pieces. Hmmmm...
Next week we will finish the alphabet with Z...
