We were so excited around here to see that two new books in the Elephant and Piggie like Reading series came out on September 20th from the beginning reader series by Mo Willems and to partner with Disney-Hyperion this month! My kids are huge fans of Elephant and Piggie, and couldn’t wait to read the newest books, Cookie Fiasco, and We are Growing.
As soon as our Mo Mail arrived my cute 2nd grader Norah immediately took the books over to my kindergartner Thomas, and read them to him! They loved them, and have been reading them over and over ever since their arrival!
It has been so much fun to see my youngest Thomas really grow and excel starting Kindergarten this year! He has started to read on his own, and comes home having learned so much each and every day! I just love seeing how much they learn and grow, and it’s almost like they grow up a bit each day in that short time they are away at school. I’m not kidding, this week I’ve felt like he has grown up a ton! He looks so much older! He really is growing like a weed, which is kind of killing me a little to see my youngest growing up so quickly all of the sudden!
As much as I’d like to stop time, it just isn’t an option, unless you know someone who can, I’d love to know! Until then, I am going to cherish all the time we have together at this stage in life, and take the time to cuddle, read books, and spend the afternoon baking cookies together, exploring, and laughing.
My kids have really gotten into baking lately, and they beg and beg me to bake with them. It’s always fun to be able to do that together in the kitchen, and Thomas and I were able to bake up a batch of our favorite chocolate chip cookies together! He always gets excited to pour each ingredient, and is a big help, especially with eating the chocolate chips, wink!
We sat down to some freshly baked cookies to do some reading together. The Cookie Fiasco was the perfect book after just baking up some yummy treats! It is about four friends, with only three cookies, and one problem. The friends need to act fast before the Hippo Breaks all the cookies into crumbs! Such a hoot!
We also loved reading We are Growing. With little plant friends growing up so fast, they all want to have something special of their own, and they each find it! Such cute books that we are sure to read over and over in the time to come!
