I probably say this every month, but I cannot believe how fast May passed. June is sure to fly just as quickly. All of the classes that Mat is currently enrolled in will finish this month and we aren't going to put her in any summer classes. With traveling and moving, there's really no point. We are trying to get her into one-on-one swimming lessons. This week she did really well in swimming but the past two weeks haven't been the best. Lots of tears due to cold water. She has now realized that she can stand in the shallow end of the pool which makes her feel much braver. A sense of control is what she needs in order to feel safe.
In reflection of my May goals, she has made some progress with getting dressed and undressed. I need to put more focus on this. Many times we are changing clothes in such a time crunch that I don't want to wait for her to fight with her clothes. She's pretty much a pro at putting her running shoes on. I think sandals are a challenge even for adults.
Her sight word vocabulary hasn't expanded at all. I'm trying to work on momma and daddy, but every time she sees any word she says it spells Matilda. She's at the phase words are just pictures.
I've had a lot of fun teaching her about money. The day after my first money lesson she opened my wallet and took out my white debit card. Clearly she remembered that that piece of plastic is worth the most money in my wallet.
She's really expanded in her story-telling ability. In April she would add a noun or verb when prompted, but now she will tell her own 5-6 sentence story! Most of her stories are animal characters having conversations with their friends. It's awesome to hear what she comes up with.
I'm excited to see what this month has in store. I need to do some research before I establish my June goals.
