Morgan is 4 ~!

Enjoyed a relaxing day at home w/ the family~! My attempt at a breakfast pancake "# 4" took two tries, but both girls enjoyed them nonetheless. Presents and fun all day.

Our Little Lady is Turning 4!

Morgan had a great 4th birthday party with 12 school friends! Just a perfect turnout!

Grandma and Grandpa joined us for the festivities.

Ladybugs were everywhere!

Loved wearing her new tutu from Ms Sarah!

Non-stop smiles. And, a little sisterly competition. 

Birthday song and cake!



Thanksgiving Lunch @ Pines

Enjoyed a Thanksgiving celebration w/ Morgan and her classmates [MEE, Brenden & Arnav].

The Montessori Way

We continue to be impressed with the Montessori teachings. As part of their fine motor skills development, they do a lot of tracing & "punching out" of designs. Morgan recently completed the World Continent map whereby she individually "punched out" each continent (with what looks like a pencil - but it has a sharp point instead). The teachers sit w/ each child & show the different types of animals found on each continent.

During "Come Watch Me Work Day", Morgan showed me how she counts to 10.  First, she pulled out her mat and gathered her supplies (cards and animals). Next, she lined up the cards 1-10 and then placed the appropriate number of animals next to each number (& they teach them to group by 2s - to learn odd and even).  Finally, Morgan put everything away into its proper place.

    

Fall Festival Fun

We girls enjoyed our local elementary's fall festival today.  C is still fighting his cold. The girls waited in a long line to do this "jumping" exercise - no fear, only fun! Non-stop smiles. Regan even did flips!
