On my way to writing...

Trying to get some sanity in our lives, we have been asking Amélie to either nap or stay in her room for at least 20 minutes of quiet time. She can choose whether she wants to read, play with her toys, listen to music, or sleep, but she has to stay in her room... Hard to implement but we are getting there...

On Saturday, Amélie asked for her Barbapapa drawing kit (genius gift, many thanks tata susu!), she generally likes to flip through it and sometimes finds the patience to complete a few of the activities in it.

Amélie was pretty quiet for some time, which I thought meant that she had fallen asleep.

When I went to pick her up, I discovered that Amélie had done a pretty cool thing - here is the cover of the barbapapa book:



Here is what Amélie did:



We were amazed that Amélie did not only write the letters but also made sure that all the colors matched! So excited that our little Amélie is on her way to learn how to write!!!

PS: You are generous with the 20 minutes. We always set the timer for an hour, and Sam had to stay in bed for the hour (with as many books as he wanted).
