Here Talmage is playing "Indian Song". He learned this one a few weeks ago but like to go back and play it from time to time.
Today when I was working with Talmage on math he was reviewing odd numbers. I asked him what's after five, he said seven, then I asked what was next, he said nine and then couldn't remember what came next so he said, "And so forth."

Magic Man
This is one of Talmage's piano songs for this week. It keeps getting stuck in my head. He really likes playing piano and learning new songs every week.

Anya's Vocabulary
Anya is still 3 years old, but uses such big words, sometimes correctly, sometimes not. Yesterday she ran up to me and told me she was "lava proof" when I looked surprised she said "I'll prove it!" She then acted like she was holding her breath and pretended to swim through the play room which I'm assuming was filled with lava in her mind. Just now she came to tell me that she "stabilized the book". I'm pretty sure she meant to say she had stapled the book. (The kids are creating books out of paper right now. Anya's is about The Creation and Talmage's is about outer space).
A few weeks ago Anya notified me that she was catching "intruders", then she asked what intruders were. I tried to explain it in a non threatening manner so she wouldn't be afraid of bad guys getting in our house at night or something. I asked her what kind of intruders she was catching and she told me "spiders".
The kids have been on a science kick and Anya felt so sad the other day because Talmage had created a science experiment with out her-- she came crying to me that she wanted to do a "speramint too". It's a good thing she drew my attention to Talmage's experiment because it was "discovering" if things were waterproof or not. That could have gone bad, luckily it didn't get out of hand.
Anya also told me that clearing dishes from the table was "harder than pie for Talmage, but it is easy as pie for me".
I sure like her words and phrases, they keep me smiling. I wish I could remember and share them all.
