Isaiah--2 Months Old

The Torture Begins...

This evening I caught Aliya and Kiahna "dressing up" their little brother with their baby clothes. They had laid the clothes on top of him and told him how cute he was. Isaiah doesn't mind...yet. In another few years, it won't be as easy to get away with!

Dirty Work

Last week in one of our history lessons, we studied the Ancient Native Americans and the "mound builders". The mound builders built huge elaborate mounds when they buried their people. Some of these mounds were shaped into different animals, like snakes or turtles. Today's assignment was to build a mound into a creative shape.

The first task was to gather the dirt. I normally frown on bringing dirt into the house, but that's just what we did! We then added a little bit of water so that they could shape the dirt (now called mud) easier.

Niah built a turtle mound.

Aliya built a pancake mound. (???)

Kiahna...Let's just say she built an abstract mound.

Isaiah wasn't sure what was going on--he just loves to watch.
