Mima left us last week. : ( We were sad to see her go, but also glad that we got the chance to spend some time with her.
We took this picture on her last day. We had a good laugh after this because we set up the camera so that it would take the picture automatically, and placed it on the bookshelf in front of the window. There we were, smiling away, while some guy walked into the apartment next door and seemed to look into our window. What a funny sight he must have seen, not knowing that we were waiting for the click of the camera... all four of us happily looking out the window at him! : )

Mima helping Sasha with her puzzle:



A gift from Mima: a hand molding kit with a frame.


New activities.
This is to help her learn about different ways to travel (air, water, land). After cutting out some of the different modes of transportation, she places them on the drawing where they belong:


Learning to count. She can almost count to 20, but she's just learning the concept of numbers. This activity has helped her incredibly. Together we count and place the correct number of stones on each card:



She kept trying to place all the stones on top of the number, so we made a new activity where she could place them inside these circles:



We were showing her how to make geometric shapes with these sticks by matching the colors. But then she started her own game of forming letters with them! We were so surprised. She made the following letters: T, I, F, X.



Having fun with her stickers:
