my little van gogh










Kalia has been painting and she's really into it. We are currently working on a fall wreath - painting some leaves I cut out. I tried to paint on one and she told me "no mommy, do it like this." I guess I was using the wrong method. She has also requested we do a little mixed media, markers first, then painting.

Erik has been borrowing our neighbor's skateboard and has become quite the hit of the neighborhood. It's been a good lesson in taking turns, since everyone, including Erik wants a turn. She woke up yesterday saying, "No, Bianca ride my skateboard."

Dare I put into writing....sleep has been getting a little bit better. Night time, she has been going down almost like usual, but not sleeping in like before. We do have a little extra comfort time before bed and tell her a made up story about "a little girl" before we leave. Naps--still working on that, but I always had issues with naps.

Kalia's favorite show, her absolute obsession is "Word World" on PBS. She is always pretending to be one of the characters. Lately she has put on her chef hat and she does a "cooking with chef Kalia" show or uses a magnifying glass to be "on the job" looking for the "case of the missing pie".
