A is for apple!

So far today has been much better. Noah and I spent alot of time together and I think he was wanted that. It amazes me how with every book I've read, class I've taken, combined with wisdom from friends I trust, wisdom from God and even some of my own wisdom, I often find myself without a clue of how to handle Noah when he disobeys. How does that happen?

This week I started something new with Noah. I decided to focus on one letter a week and then find things today throughout the week that I can reflect back to that letter. We memorize a verse that starts with the corresponding letter, find items in magazines that start with that letter and go on a scavenger hunt around the house for things that start with that letter as well. Today we went to storytime and took out books that start with that letter too. So far Noah seems very into the whole idea. So for this week we have been all about the Letter A!! If you have any other creative ways to teach and have fun in this way let us know!
