Even though Sophie doesn’t know how to read and can only write a couple of words she certainly knows how to express herself!
This one is titled: ‘Little Sisters Don’t Get Into Big Sister’s Money Bank’
Note the detail: curly hair, big frown. Yep, that’s Sarah!
About the next picture, I say maybe I say, “Sophie, Stop!” too much. Dan says she wrote this because stop is the only word she knows how to write. What do you think?

Sophie’s art class at co-op last week made body collages. I LOVE Sophie’s collage – it makes me smile everytime I look at it.

I don’t remember where Parker first heard about the number googol, but ever since he has been fascinated with it. So, when I saw the book Can You Count to a Google by Robert E. Wells at the library, I snatched it up! It’s a very well written book and we had a fun time with it. It starts with the number one and keeps adding zero until it gets to a googol (a one with 100 zeros!). It’s very engaging and captures the child’s attention right away. The first page reads, “If you’re looking for a really big number, it certainly won’t be 1. One is the number of bananas you can balance on your nose, if you’re a good banana balancer.”
Here is a partial dialouge of the conversation we had while reading this book …
Mom: How long would it take you to spend a million dollars?
Parker: Oh, about 2 days.
Mom: What would you buy if you had a billion dollars?
Parker: A Dollar store!!!
