Today, my daughter and I again read the book "Ask Mr Bear." It is a story about Danny and how he sought help from his animal friends to find a birthday gift for his mommy. In the middle of reading it, Caitlin gestured under our Christmas tree and pointed her gift for me! She's such a sweet girl. And I was so happy how she made the connection from the book to the gifts we got for Christmas.
After I made her pack away the gift though, she lost interest in the book and turned to her bag full of crayons and alphabet cards.
It has been our third try at reading "Ask Mr. Bear" and we still haven't finished it. I am again left hanging as to its ending. But I am happy, nonetheless, for our progress.
Happy homeschooling mommies!
