S is for Sweethearts


At preschool, Ava has not only been reviewing her letters but also learning how to put them together to form words. A common activity is for her and her classmates to find words that begin with certain letters. Each week, her class focuses on a specific letter, and I try to incorporate activities at home that correspond to each week's letter. Last week was the letter S, one of her favorites, and so tonight we ended our S activities by finding items around the house that begin with S. (Ok, so I stole this idea from an episode of Little Bill on Nickelodeon, but it was such a great idea!). Anyway, Ava loved this activity and had already gathered quite a pile of S items (above) when suddenly Hudson interrupted our game by running into the playroom with a tiara in hand.

What ensued next was hilarious!

He streaked over to Ava, giggling in his adorable little boy voice, and shouted "Sissy! Sissy! Sissy!" (Yet another S word; go Hudson!) He then proceeded to crown his princess sister. Usually I miss a chance to capture such moments with my camera, but since I already had it out for our S items, I was able to catch this adorable moment. Observe:

We were all laughing hysterically by this point, so that ended our S game. While the kiddos continued to be silly in the playroom, I left to put my camera away. Until I heard more laughter and returned to find my son apparently attempting to mount this toy stallion! Where does he get these ideas?!? Thus, I managed one last hilarious shot before we were off to bathtime.

In the spirit of S words, I just have to say that I am so thankful for my silly, special, snuggly, sugary sweethearts!
