Reading and Sentences

Indiana has several words she uses often. Her favorite is of course "no" but she also says "peekaboo," "mama," "dada" and I'm sure there are others. But her new phrase is, "I did it." It is so funny to ask her to do something and when she does it she puts her hands in the air and says, "I did it" usually followed by "yay" and clapping.

Isaac has been working on reading lately and he's getting very good. Today he was reading a magazine and came across the word "hooky" and he knows that two "oo" make an "oo" sound like in "kangaroo." So he said to me mommy what is "hooky." Go ahead, say it out loud it is so funny. And then I tried to explain what "playing hooky" means and he is itching to try it.

He also tries to spell words out. At my parent's house last week he was watching the movie Rio and wanted to spell "Blue." So he sounds it out and comes up with "bloo." In the car he likes us to spell a word for him too. Yesterday after he had donea few words he said,"Okay Daddy, what does 'bukl' spell." Can you figure it out? Yep, buckle, is a tricky word.
