After reading some animal stories curled up in the bed of twin1, we headed upstairs for dictation. This is the third time I have done this. My goal is to do this every 6 months to see how they progress in imagination, story telling, creativity, interests, story telling.... Each time, I plan to use the same materials and see how the utilization progresses. I have 3 plain felt boards and a selection of felt figures. They make their own picture and when done, tell me a story about, or to go along with their picture. Today was the first time the toddler joined us.
This is the toddler's picture. I believe he wanted to use all the figures. The twins also did this the first few times I brought these out.

The kids seem to really enjoy telling their own stories and my writing it down for them.
During the afternoon, we headed over to my Uncles for a lesson on wood splitting. The littles and I headed to the grocery story and left them to their work. If you look closely, you may be able to see the snow flakes falling. The twins had a blast and I think my Aunt and Uncle did too. There was quite a pile of split wood when I returned an hour later. Twin2 was fully decked out in 'Bob' dress: hard hat, work vest and tools. He even brought his tool box and shed tools with him.
This evening we are off to the library for a pajama story time before bed. Good night.
