Hazel hard at work, illustrating the poem "The Whole Duty of Children" by Robert Louis Stevenson. She is drawing the little children behaving mannerly at the table (at least as far as they are able).
We spent much of this rainy morning looking at the birds out the window, and this has been the most interesting visitor to the yard in a while. Jane loves watching the birds, and we all joined in to watch this one dig around in the yard.
Jane's vocabulary is growing rapidly, we've gotten to the point where there are new words pretty much daily. She has a few favorite books where she gets to use a few of her words, including Goodnight Gorilla, Goodnight Moon, Fish Kisses, Big Red Barn, and we've just added Jamberry to the favorites.
