My Smarty Pants

Everyday Gracie continues to amaze me! Today, I printed off some fun worksheets for summer. One of the pages asked you to match the animals to their homes. I was surprised when Gracie knew several of the animals homes. When did she learn that? She knew that the spider lived in the spider web, and the goldfish lived in the bowl, and she devised that the bird lived in the tree rather than underground when I gave her the two choices.

The funny thing about these sheets and the flashcards and other activities that we do...each time she amazes me with what she knows, she acts like it is no big deal and gives me a look like "didn't you know that momma?"

This afternoon we pulled out the flashcards, which may I say, Gracie loves and often asks for. (Probably because I squeal with delight every time she gets something right and she thinks it is hilarious!) The set she wanted to play with was a Blue's Clue's memory game. I figured it was way too hard...but she was insistent. So, I laid all the cards out face up in a huge square and she started to match the cards! I was so impressed. She would pick up one and then search with her eyes until she found its match. She placed the two cards aside and clapped for herself. She was to adorable!

So, Anyone need their socks paired up? Gracie will do it for pretzel sticks!

**Gracie takes a block break. She was so proud that she got them this high!***
