Arts and crafts time

Madeline has been LOVING "arts and crafts time" lately! We do some coloring, fingerpainting, cutting out shapes, stickers, pumpkin decorating, whatever we can think of. One day, she switched from finger-painting to elbow-painting!They do lots of projects at preschool (Developmental Learning Center), and we recently found a good way to display a lot of the artwork (thank you Land of Nod):Madeline goes to preschool 2 days a week, and it is so cute watching her make friends and learn new things. She can sing the whole abc song now, actually she has been doing that for a while. She can count to 10, usually. She started out doing it correctly, then for a long time would consistently skip #4, and now 4 seems to be her favorite number. She rarely takes a nap anymore. She is potty trained for peepee but not poopoo yet. She loves to pedal her tricycle, especially if mommy is pushing her. She watches at least part of the movie Ice Age almost every day for the past few weeks, she can now predict some parts of the movie. She calls her stuffed Snuffy toy "ice age." She now pronounces her own name correctly, instead of maa-maa as she said for a long time. I could go on and on...
