18

Eric has been working on writing his number words through 20. He has number cards that he can reference if needed. He usually needs to look at 8/18. Today he was counting and writing the number words. He went to write the word 18, and paused and looked at it for a minute or two. Then he said "Hey, this says eight-een, not "eight-teen". He knows that the teen words end with teen, so he was surprised that 18 only had 1 "t" in it instead of 2. Just a fun little observation he had that I wanted to share with you.

Winter Wonderland

I love living here! We get just enough snow to make it absolutely magical, but not so much that it affects our daily lives. I had no idea it was supposed to snow, so when we woke up to a thick blanket, it was a fabulous surprise! The snow continued to fall heavily all morning. It was so beautiful! Eric loved it and we had the best time having snowball fights. There was such an abundance of snow (and our yard is huge) that we were able to run all over pummeling each other with snowballs.
