Preschoolers Trying to FIgure Out the Alphabet

I heard Isaak and Cousin Elijah in Isaak's room singing the alphabet many times over again. I stepped away from decorating cupcakes for their preschool to see what they were up to. They were playing with the wooden letters Grandpa Apel made Isaak. They sang the alphabet each and every time they put a letter down. Sometimes they sang it twice. Some of the letters were backwards, but they were learning together. It was so cute!

Wash Those Hands!

• In the past few weeks Mica has really stepped up to the plate to be a good big brother. 
• I think it's really helped that their cousin's are out of town; it gives Mica and Isaak more bonding time with less competition. 

• I heard the boys in the bathroom talking:
• Mica: Isaak you should try and go potty after me.
• Isaak: O tay Bica. Translation: Ok Mica.
• Mica: Now we need to wash our hands Isaak. Now that Daddy put in a new facet we can wash our own hands. Come on step up on the stool.
• Isaak: O tay Bica.
• Mica and Isaak: They sang the alphabet together. (That's how long you're supposed to wash your hands you know).
• Mica: Ok Isaak step down and dry your hands on your towel. (there's a hand towel on the sink, but that's ok).
• Isaak: O tay Bica.

• How cute is that?
• It's moments like these that make me smile. :)
