TOG Y2 W25

This week was a focus on the indians, which surprisingly is a favorite topic for my princesses. Princess S even has the Kaya doll to play with.

Princess E
Latin: Lesson 12.2 to 12.3, Exercise 12.2 to 12.5

So far, she is responding just fine to picking up the pace. We did one whole lesson this week. I will be trying for two lessons for next week so that we can have a week off while Nanny visits during her birthday week.
We do parties at 5, 10 and 15 so this little princess has a birthday party coming up. She is getting very excited, as I have not told her what they will be doing in order to surprise her. She knows which guests are coming and handed out the invites at Sunday School this morning.

Princess M
Same old, same old for now. She has started counting out loud, and wanting to count things on the pages of her books. She still will not sit for very many stories. Her favorite books are Richard Scarey books and the Little Critter books. But we don't actually read them - we just find Lowly Worm or the spider and grasshopper on the Little Critter books. Reading them takes too long for this little wiggle worm. She has also worn out the toes in her blanket sleepers because her feet are just so big!
