Sign language and math skills

Today mommy didn't have to work so much, thus we got the chance to hang out as a family, yay!  After I came home, we all went to the library, as they were having a little celebration of national library week.  There was cake, water, butter cookies, popcorn, a guessing contest, balloons, and 'tattoos' (the paste-on kind, of course).  We checked out some new library books, too.
After we left the library, we went to Olive Garden for lunch.  You ate lots of salad, as usual.  While we were having lunch, you learned some signs (in sign language); you had asked me about them the other day, so I thought it was a good time to learn them.  You've always known the sign for "more", thanks to Nana Linda.  Now you know a whole bunch more!  We will keep practicing them each day, so we can surprise her with how many you know the next time we see her.
Right now, you are sitting on the couch with mommy, working on your FIRST GRADE workbook (at 4 1/2 years old)!  You're doing a wonderful job, too.  You know how to add and subtract pretty well already; we practice in the car and at home, out loud and with flashcards.  Now you are starting to write with lower case letters as well as upper case.
The weather was absolutely beautiful today.  You and daddy went on a long walk to 7-11 and to a park while mommy was at work.  We went to Costco to get a couple of things after lunch, then came home and worked outside in the yard.  You got a couple of owies doing this, none that are serious, though :)  Love you lots!
