Weather Discussion

Whenever I have the kids in the car, we talk about what the weather is like outside. (I guess it's the teacher in me, finding those teachable moments!) I was just chuckling inside when I took the kids to school this morning.

Mallory: It's kinda raining outside.
Me: Well, it's foggy.
Mallory: It's froggy outside!
Me: Not froggy - foggy. (Mallory refers to Kermit the Frog as 'Froggy'.)
Isaiah: It's froggy outside!
Mallory: No, Isaiah - fooooooggy.

It was so cute the way she stretched out the word 'foggy' and corrected her brubby. :)

Another proud moment - last night, Isaiah went up to Mallory and said, "Mallory, do you want to play with Brubby?" (Brubby is Mallory's nickname for Isaiah.) This was so exciting to hear! Isaiah is really growing in his autism. He's been asking us to play, but for him to ask another child (even though it was his sister) this was just another step in the right direction. :)
