Fiona Fridays: weather of the day
Fiona’s been talking a lot about what day it is lately. She knows all the names, but doesn’t really have the order down. So I decided to make her a calendar and we’ve been writing down when things like library story hour and so on. I also asked her to draw a picture for the weather and it’s been rather amusing. She’ll ask me “What’s today’s letter?” or at least that’s what I hear, and after a few minutes I figure out what she’s trying to tell me. Yesterday she fell asleep at 5 and we hadn’t done it yet and so we ended up drawing the weather at around 9 o’clock. So she drew “dark”. Today she drew not only the sun and wind, but also a flower, a plant and a bird. Then, in the afternoon, she wanted to draw her “observations” again. We didn’t do it, but now I’m thinking maybe I should have let her. Oh, and while she was figuring out what to draw last night she took the red marker and “polished” her entire left hand and forearm. She started with her fingernails and worked her way up and around. She didn’t want to wash it so when she got up this morning the left side of her face was red from sleeping on her hand.
