The Alphabet Song

Sung at a reasonable pace, it takes about 30 seconds to sing. I have been using it as a device for preparing Jonathan (and myself) for the end of a nursing session (usually two times through.) One not surprising result is that Jonathan is good at singing it himself now. His one... (More)

The Joy of Watching Them Learn

I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast. Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters. Noah has now figured out "crawling for transportation." He knows he can do... (More)
