Pretzel Letters

Left to their own devises for a bit, eating an afternoon snack of stick pretzels and apples, Luke comes running to me saying, "Mom, come see what I did!" Debating whether his tone implied a good or bad event, I was thrilled to see they'd spelled their names with the pretzels. Luke has really taken to writing his letters and numbers recently and spends as much time as Elijah practicing. I love to make learning a part of our normal daily life...it comes naturally to use these moments to teach or reinforce a concept and it's fun! How awesome to see the boys picking up the idea on their own!
