This past month we celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday at school, and read a lot of his classic books like Hop on Pop, Wocket in My Pocket, and Cat in the Hat.  I loved them!  Here I am pictured at home reading a copy of What Kind of Pet Should We Get?  Next to me is my reading buddy, Curious George (or as I call him, “Serious George”).

Reading and spelling are still my favorite pastimes, and many a night I can be heard begging Mommy and Daddy to go to the bookstore.  I’ve continued to hone my spelling abilities, memorizing dozens of short words and quite a few longer words, too, such as, “green,” “organic,” “prestige,” and “cherry.”  I’m getting pretty good at sounding things out phonetically, although I’d rather ask to have a grownup read me new words.  According to my preschool teachers, I actually read the text off of a fellow student’s shirt unprompted.

Mommy and Daddy also started using the 1-2-3 Magic discipline system this month, and I must say I’ve responded very well to the warnings and consequences.  Although sometimes I still have difficulties expressing disappointment and frustration constructively, I’ve made some real strides!

Current likes: puzzles (I’m getting very proficient at my 24-36 piece varieties)

Current dislikes: when my requests are not acknowledged or acted upon immediately
