Amelia's last day of prekindergarten

Amelia had her last day of pre-kindergarten in the middle of May. This sweet little project came home that week.

Amelia: bank of mommy

This one makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. Amelia's class studied money and visited a bank in March or April. Apparently, they colored a 100 bill as part of that unit of study.

The picture is the center is a female person and it is labeled "Momy". As in, all money is from the bank of Momy. If only that was true!

Amelia: I love you

Such a sweet girl- we love you too Amelia! She is so proud of herself!

Amelia: my family

I adore this drawing. I would frame it and hang it on the wall if I was a frame it kind of person. I'm more of a buy the frame and spill water on the special paper kind of mom.

Anyway, you can see mom, dad, William and Amelia are labeled. Gemma isn't labeled, but she clearly is the smallest one on the left with the crazy hair,

Gemma draws

Gemma is drawing on the magnetic drawing board while I'm checking my email. After about 15 seconds she wants my attention (have you gotten half of an email from me lately? This could be why).

Gemma: mom!! Mom!!
Mama: what? Did you draw something?
Gemma: yeah! Nice!
Mama: (looks) it IS nice!
Gemma: no. No nice. Nice.
Mama: hmmm. It is a nice picture Gemma!
Gemma: no. No nice. Nice. (With exaggerated expression). Thsssssssssss. Snice.
Mama: aahhh...a snake! You made a snake!
Gemma: yeah! Big snice!
Mama: wow!
Gemma; bye snice (erases board).

Then she drew me a new picture which I tried to record.

Sometimes it is a combination of a few crazy board games around here. Pictionary and charades and a few others just to try and have a conversation with the 2 year old. It is a totally different game entirely if you'd like to have a conversation that does NOT include her in it.
