Ada's Birthday Video


It is that time again.  The start of a new year and Ada's birthday, all falling close together.  I can't believe my oldest baby is already 6 years old!  Next year I'll have to register her with our school district as a homeschooled child.  Ada has a great birthday and declared it "the best birthday ever," of course that also was sometimes quickly followed by her not getting her way and stating it was also the "worst birthday ever," but we will take what we can get.  Part of each girls' birthday week is me trying to get their birthday video made.  I love making these videos and it really shows how each girl has grown in the past year of their life.  Most of the time the girls don't like their videos, saying they are "too sad" and sometimes Ada or Maddie will start to cry while watching them, but I think eventually they will appreciate them.  If not, then they are for me and I am fine with that :-)

Math Songs....and others

Well, lets see if I can do better in the new year with posting, but probably not :-)  The holidays have been busy, of course, with ups and downs and all arounds.  The kids keep on working and learning.  Ada is doing great with her reading and math and I can't believe she will be 6 tomorrow!  One thing I am sure of, is that she learns well with songs, so here are some youtube videos that we currently are looking at today....
