Isn't it interesting how two children from the same parents can be so different? Ali has loved reading and "homework" since she was really little, and the other day I started to worry that I hadn't been as good at encouraging Meri as I was with Ali. So, when Meri and I had a day together last week with just the two of us, I thought I would try to work with her on her colors. She was super excited... for about 5 minutes. She lost interest in working on orange very quickly and decided that purple would be a better color for carrots and pumpkins.
