Keeping Cool

Summer is here and it's already miserably hot in Texas, so we've been looking for activities to do indoors.  There's not a lot to choose from around here, but Allison does enjoy trips to the mall where she can run around and enjoy the few small rides that they have available.

She really enjoys when great-grandpa buys her ice cream.

And takes her for a ride on the train.

She tried the sky jump for the first time and loved it, even though she didn't go very high.

Learning About the Ocean

For the past few weeks, we have been learning about the ocean, so we decided to read the book "The Pout Pout Fish."  Allison loves the book and likes to watch the video of the story on YouTube.  She already has it memorized and asks for it all the time.  Each time we read the book, we talk about the creatures that live in the ocean.  She seems to really like jellyfish.  We did a colorful starfish craft using foam confetti and a Pout Pout fish craft with construction paper.  She put a great big smile on her Pout Pout fish instead of a pout.  She is very proud of her artwork.

Last Day of School

  

We're sad that school is over, but lucky to know that Allison will get one more year of preschool and she can have the same teacher.  She loves her teacher.  Summer starts today!
