color by number...

last evening, while i helped Gabrielle & Jaden with their homework....daddy & Corinn worked on a color by number page in one of her million coloring books (her class doesn't have any homework this week)

the girls LOVE color by number pages! usually, i help Corinn out, by coloring the words at the bottom of the page - so she knows which number, is which color....then, she's able to tackle the coloring part just fine....but since daddy has been including Corinn in on Gabrielle's practice sessions with her sight words (flash cards with the words she's learning in kindergarten), Corinn is also learning how to read!

she colored these 5 words completely on her own!!!

my preschooler is so darn smart! ;0)

i'm battling a fierce cough & sinus/head cold....the doc says it's because all the swollen lymph nodes r crowding my lungs & bronchial tubes - causing inflammation (my PET scan even showed what the doc says looks like pneumonia in my left lung)....he says that of course, the chemo will wipe all that out - but until then, i'm suffering thru it....gonna go stock up on sinus/cold meds this afternoon & hopefully i can at least calm some of the symptoms....my head is throbbing, my nose won't stop running, i have this nasty hacking cough & i can't stop sneezing! super fun! ~lol~
