You know, there is just something so theraputic about squeezing Play-Doh. Especially since they came out with their "Softest Ever!" stuff. It really is very soft and easy to use. The only bad thing about Play-Doh is the clean up, which usually falls to me, but that's okay, because then I get to squeeze it some more.
Sea World on Thursday was okay, not the best day we've ever had but not the worst either. We did get passes so next time we'll know what to expect a bit more.
Tabitha finished all six of her book reports for the fair. Did I mention that? If you read 2 books and turn in book reports to the education center at the fair, they'll give you 3 ride tickets. You can do a maximum of 6 book reports for 9 tickets total. Tabs finished her last one yesterday. I'm very proud of her form considering all I said was to just write what the book was about. I finally broke down and got her lined paper to use. I had been resisting because I didn't want her imaginative writings to be hampered by trying to stay within the lines. She's only 4 and there's plenty of time for her to learn neatness with writing. Well, without lines, her writing goes all over the place and you can't tell sentences from one another. I was just going to have her type out her reports, but I didn't think the education people would believe that she typed them herself. So, I bought lined kid paper and her reports are much more readable now. Along these lines, I found a grammar program that looks interesting. I wouldn't even bother with it, but Tabitha loves punctuation and wants to use it properly.
Tabitha artwork has gotten rather good too. I think it's fabulous because I can't draw worth anything. My sister is a pretty good artist so Tabitha must have got some talent from where ever my sister got hers. Today she drew 4 of the Disney princesses so we're going to give the drawings to them next time we go to Disneyland.
